Synopsis

The St. Louis World's Fair of 1904 -- in rare color images... A hundred years after the 1803 Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States, a World's Fair -- the Louisiana Purchase Exposition -- was held in St. Louis, Missouri, to commemorate the event. Photographer T.W. Ingersoll documented the 1904 fair with his stereoscopic camera. A hundred of his photographs, originally published as a set, are now shown in color, along with postcard images and rare black and white photos of the fair.
