Postcard courtesy of Will HIll

This picture shows the central mall of the New York World’s Fair, al long esplanade lined with trees and benches arranged alongside five lagoons. The latter form a setting for groups of sculptured symbolical figures, a huge portrait statue of George Washington as he arrived in New York City for his inauguration, one of the larges sundials in the world, and at top, the Perisphere, a 200-foot ball, and the Trylon, a 700-foot triangular shaft. About 25 of the largest exhibit buildings face upon the tree-lined area.
