* (CHICAGO. CERMAK, ANTON) KAUFMANN-FABRY
A Century of Progress International Exposition Chicago, 1933-1934. Chicago: Kaufmann-Fabry Photographers, n.d. (c. 1934)
Large 4to, full blue pebbled leather, gilt decorations to spine and front board, moire silk endpapers. One of a small number of copies printed for major contributors to the World's Fair, this copy in memory of Anton J. Cermak, Mayor of Chicago (1931-1933), "in grateful acknowledgement of valuable support." Mayor Cermak played a leading role in bringing the Century of Progress Exposition to Chicago. The fair was his opportunity to underline how modern and forward-thinking the city was to the world, and he promoted it extensively internationally in the years leading up to the opening. The Mayor never had the opportunity to witness the opening of the fair, as he was assassinated in Miami just two months prior to its opening. The present album was presented to his family in memory of the Mayor and his contribution to the city.
Each photograph is a silver-gelatin print on thick mat paper showing scenes from the Fair annotated in pencil by the photographers. Minor edgewear.
Estimate $ 2,000-4,000
