Vintage 1939-1940 New York World's Fair Pictorial Post Cards 10 Assorted Views in Original Packet.


"The 1939–1940 New York World's Fair was held at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York City, New York. It was the second-most expensive American world's fair of all time, exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Expo of 1904. Many other countries participated in the New York World's Fair, and over 44 million people attended its exhibits in 2 seasons. It was the first expos to be based on the future, with its slogan of "Dawn of a New Day', allowing visitors to take a look at 'the world of tomorrow'.


When World War II began 4 months into the 1939 World's Fair, many exhibits were affected, especially those on display in the pavilions of countries under Axis occupation. After the close of the fair in 1940, many exhibits were demolished or removed, though some buildings were retained for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, held at the same site."
