1940 New York World’s Fair – Illustrated by Camera – Photo Souvenir Book (65 pp.)
Original 1940 New York World’s Fair souvenir photo book Illustrated by Camera, a richly produced 65‑page visual tour of the “World of Tomorrow.” Packed with crisp black‑and‑white photographs documenting the Fair’s architecture, national pavilions, industrial exhibits, sculptures, and nighttime illumination.
This is the larger 10 × 6.75 inch 1940 edition, not the smaller-format 1939 version.
Condition
Excellent overall condition with clean pages, tight binding, and strong image clarity. Only flaw is a light crease on the front cover running through the “u” in “Illustrated.” No writing, no loose pages, and no major defects. Estate‑fresh and well cared for.
