EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the iconic New York World's Fair of 1939, a momentous event that showcased the boundless optimism and innovation of its time. The poster, created by renowned commercial artist John Carleton Atherton (1900-1952), beautifully captures the essence of this grand exhibition. In vivid color, we see the Trylon and Perisphere, two architectural marvels that symbolized progress and modernity. These structures stand tall amidst a globe embraced by Libertas, representing unity across nations. As visitors from around the world flock to witness this spectacle, it becomes evident that this fair was not just an American affair but a global celebration. The art deco style employed in this lithograph adds to its timeless appeal. The orange and blue hues evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. It is as if Atherton's brushstrokes have frozen a moment in history when humanity dared to dream big. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where technological advancements were transforming society at an unprecedented pace. This image serves as a reminder of our capacity for innovation and our relentless pursuit of progress. With every detail meticulously captured by AF Fotografie, this print allows us to relive the spirit of the New York World's Fair - an international exposition that left an indelible mark on both American culture and global imagination.
