McCarthy Album 11, Photograph 287

Title: McCarthy Album 11, Photograph 287
Description: Caption: "A Chrysler Car Maneuver Chicago Fair. Sept. 23, 1934." A car appears to be rolling over in this photograph of the Chrysler Track at Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition. The Exposition, a world fair attended by thirty-nine million people, celebrated Chicago's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. The central theme of the Exposition was technological innovation, with a motto of "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms."
