Description
Panorama of the World's Fair, St. Louis, 1904. Louisiana Purchase Exposition Celebrating the Centennial of the purchase of the Louisiana Territory.
Reproduction map of the town known as St. Louis, MO, celebrating the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase in 1904, drawn by George W. Melville.
Booster information below the title on the map reads as follows:
"In the production of this panorama of the fair, effort has been made by careful detail to portray the architectural beauties of all the buildings; and by general arrangement and color, convey to the observer in a comprehensive picture the vastness and "tout ensemble" of the exposition. Forest Park, where the World's Fair is located, previous to the erection of the buildings, was a succession of wooded hills and dales. Millions of dollars were expended in leveling and grading, to prepare the site for the main exhibit palaces, shown in the center of the picture; at either end of the grounds the country still rises to an elevation of seventy-five feet. The view is looking towards the south; the great palaces of Electricity, Varied Industries, Transportation and Machinery are shown on the right of the Court of Honor; on the left are Education, Manufacturers, Mines and Metallurgy and Liberal Arts. Surrounding these eight palaces of exhibits are ornamental parade plazas, sunken gardens, and the mile and one-half lagoon system, which encircles the Electricity and Educational buildings. Left of the Liberal Arts building rises the U. S. Government building, and further back the Missouri building and Plateau of State buildings, which reaches to the extreme south-east corner of the grounds. From this point, following the line of horizon to the right, one sees the grand Festival Hall, in the center of the picture, which, with the terrace of states, the beautiful cascades and gardens, form the central feature of the exposition. Directly behind this are the Palace of Art and Statuary Halls. Conspicuous among the Foreign Pavilions is that of Germany, located on Art Hill at the left of the Terrace of States, the Texas State building, in the form of a star, being a near neighbor. To the right of the Terrace, down in the depression, is Jerusalem; close by are the National Gardens of Japan, and Morocco; across the boulevard, the Fraternal Temple, plus California and Illinois State buildings; down to the right, the Observator (Ferris) Wheel, backed by the great Agricultural Palace and Philippine Reservation; lower in the picture, at the extreme right, are the Indian School and Villages, Map of the U. S. in growing crops, Athletic and Aeronautic fields, the Administration buildings of the Fair and the Pavilions of Foreign Nations. In the immediate foreground is shown the Pike or Midway, a street a mile long lined on either side with amusing and instructive world wonders. The World's Fair Grounds cover an area of about two square miles, being one and three-quarters miles long and one mile wide, containing 1,240 acres. The total cost of the Exposition, about $50,000,000."
