From the Palaces to the Pike: Visions of the 1904 World's Fairby: Fox, Timothy J. And Duane R. Sneddeker

From the Palaces to the Pike: Visions of the 1904 World's Fair
by: Fox, Timothy J. And Duane R. Sneddeker

Softcover. St. Louis MO, Missouri Historical Society, 1st, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover. Perfect binding is tight. Interior is clean. Recreates, in words and pictures, the visual and emotional impact of the 1904 World's Fair. Using over two hundred images from the Missouri Historical Society's Photographs and Prints Collection, many reproduced from rare glass-plate negatives, From the Palaces to the Pike offers a tour of the St. Louis World's Fair that has been unavailable for nearly a century. Following an introduction that explains how the park was transformed into the World's Fair, the book takes readers inside the big exhibit palaces, brings them face-to-face with "human exhibits," and transports them over the fair grounds in hard-to-find aerial views. Special chapters also provide views of the Fair's entertainment district, known as the Pike, and of the 1904 Olympic Games. After the Fair, "the palaces crumbled, the exhibits dispersed, the Pike gave way to the mansions on Lindell Boulevard, and the fantasy land was reconfigured back into Forest Park," Clean, bright copy.
