Description
The history of Great Expositions, as revealed in this 2021 revised edition. Between 1850 and 1915, seven massive fairs were built worldwide, including Chicago, Paris, St. Louis, and San Francisco. These events were constructed in an astonishingly short time frame, often taking less than two years to complete, only to be demolished and destroyed shortly after their conclusion. The author suggests a connection between these modern fairs and ancient civilizations such as Ancient Rome and Greece. This book examines the history of World Expositions during this period, exploring the possibility that some buildings were new constructions while others may have been restored or reused from existing structures. With 200 pages of research and analysis, Exposing the Expositions offers a unique perspective on this fascinating chapter in world history.
