Add to basketEphemera. Condition: Very Good. [12pp.] 24cm. Illustrated, saddle-stapled, self-wraps. Light soiling and foxing to covers. A few small sporadic creases. An illustrated description of the LDS Church exhibit at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. In particular, the sculpture of the artist Avard Tennyson Fairbanks, the murals of John B.… Fairbanks, and the stained glass of John Leo Fairbanks are prominently featured. "The marvels of A Century of Progress are shown at the World's Fair at Chicago. The revelations of science and the ingenuity and accomplishment of modern man have so changed the old familiar conditions that we stand amazed, wondering what further miracles will come to transform our civilization. Yet, startling as is the story, the Mormon exhibit reveals something more ambitious. It is told in the Hall of Religions. It, too, is a story of progress. Not only a hundred years of progress but of 'Eternal Progress.'".
