Burgundy-coloured cloth over beveled boards, black lettering on front cover, ruled embossed in blind on front cover (minor rubbing, edgewear, expertly recased, a few minor paper repairs, gutter margin repair), still VG bright copy, from t…he library of Prof. Marvin Nathan. First "Library edition" of this photographic guidebook to the St. Louis Worlds Fair, Louisiana Purchase Exposition, offering a comprehensive illustrated tour to the famed event. Exterior views, the Midway, the Ferris Wheel, interiors of all the exhibits, sporting events, and more. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition spread over 1200 acres, and incorporated education into all aspects of the exhibitors, including blacksmiths at work, Native Americans living in their villages, transplanted Philippine Moro natives, elephant trainers, lion tamers, and more. Visitors to The Pike -- the mile long midway -- could scale the Tyrolean Alps, visit Blarney Castle, a Parisian fashion show, dive under the sea, or ride a burro to Cliff Dwellings. The 1904 St. Louis Fair also featured the first Airship races contest which offered a prize if the competing airships could complete the course three times at a speed of 15 m.p.h. A photo of Hippolyte Francis's airship Ville de St. Mande, depicts the airship in flight with a 100 foot long gasbag, and 35 feet in diameter. Workmen had to dig a trench to get the ship out of the aerodrome, and it later crashed into the concourse fence, and did not fly again.
