Additional Details:
Airplane view of the New York World's Fair of 1939, showing the architectural beauty of the Fair Grounds in Flushing Meadow Park. Greatly enhanced and beautiful in all its coloring by the employment of mercury vacuum tubes and other luminous effects, this true-scale model of the New York World's Fair of 1939, is now on display as part of the Fair's preview exhibit on the ground floor of the Empire State Building. As here taken, the photograph shows a view looking up the Esplanade toward the Theme Building the gigantic Perisphere, and its attendant Trylon, a spire reaching 700 feet into the air, which form the dominant architectural group of the Esplanade.
