Chicago World's Fair 1933 Centennial Original Poster This is an extremely rare older print from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair Centennial Celebration. This is a vintage original print of a poster intended to help raise money for the 1933 - 1934 Chicago Century of Progress World's Fair. As far as we know, this poster design was never used and has not been released to the public. The poster is titled "Chicago World's Fair Centennial Celebration - 1933." At the bottom it says - "Be an original signer." We believe signers were the people who donated money to help build the Fair itself. The poster measures approximately 21 × 29½.. The colors are vivid and striking. The design is extremely appealing, depicting a crowd of fair-goers under an arch leading to an Oz-like city in the clouds - perhaps a reference to the first Chicago World's Fair in 1893 known as the "White City." There is no signature by an artist, only the initial "CM" in the lower right corner signed in the plate. The condition of this reproduction poster is mint. the color is beautiful and the paper is flawless. This is a great find for any vintage poster collector This copy was printed around 1933, however, we do not have an exact date, The last time that one of these prints was offered for sale at auction was in February 2012.
