Description
Emblems of the era, such as the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, appear, as well as a selection of less well-known fac¸ades and interiors from around the world. The expositions and world fairs that drove the development of the style were often ephemeral displays, and the book captures these structures that are no longer on the map but have left an enduring legacy.
A special pop-out-and-keep facsimile section includes detachable reproductions of some of the most important and beautiful cards.

— Su Casa
This book proves that great things do come in small packages …original posters from this era can cost upwards of $1,000 but these postcard sized artworks contained herein are equally joyful to behold.
