Lot of 20 printed photographs, most different. Views of the various buildings on the fair grounds. 6 x 8" The 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, also known as the St. Louis World's Fair, was held to celebrate the centennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and showcased global achievements in science, culture, and industry. Spanning 1,200 acres and featuring over 1,500 buildings, the fair attracted nearly 20 million visitors and introduced innovations like the wireless telephone and the ice cream cone. It also reflected the imperial attitudes of the era, with controversial exhibits that displayed people from colonized nations as ethnographic curiosities.
