EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the iconic New York World's Fair of 1939, showcasing the awe-inspiring structures of Trylon and Perisphere. Located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, New York, this image offers a breathtaking view of the United States pavilions that epitomized American innovation and progress during the 1930s. The Trylon, a towering triangular structure, and the Perisphere, a spherical building with a silver exterior, were the fair's most prominent symbols. The Trylon, designed by architects Harrison and Fouilhoux, represented the three aspects of mass communication: radio, film, and television. The Perisphere, on the other hand, symbolized the world coming together for peace and unity. The New York World's Fair, which opened on May 18, 1939, attracted millions of visitors from all corners of the globe. The fairgrounds were filled with exhibits showcasing the latest technological advancements, cultural displays, and architectural marvels. This photograph captures the essence of the fair, encapsulating the excitement, wonder, and optimism of the era. The 1939 New York World's Fair was a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the American people during the Great Depression. It served as a beacon of hope and a symbol of the country's commitment to progress and unity. This photograph is a reminder of a time when the world came together to celebrate human achievement and the promise of a brighter future.
