Caption: "Frank Bucks [sic] Monkey Land. Chicago Fair. Sept. 20, 1934." View of a rocky cliff populated by a species of monkey. This was part of a display at Frank Buck's Jungle Camp, an exhibition at Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition. The Exposition, a world fair attended by thirty-nine million people, celebrated Chicago's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. The central theme of the Exposition was technological innovation, with a motto of "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms."
