    Description

    This is a rare and striking photograph of the Chrysler Motors pavilion at the Chicago Century of Progress 1933 World's Fair by the internationally famous architectural photography firm of Hedrich-Blessing.
    Since 1930, the Chicago photography firm of Hedrich-Blessing has documented
    practically the entire history of modern architecture in America, from the Prairie School and Beaux-Arts to late- and post-Modernism, including photographs of Chicago's famous "A Century of Progress" exposition of 1933. That exposition was this country's largest concentration of the European Art Deco building style, and Ken Hedrich, one of this studio's founders, was its official photographer.
    I acquired a selection of original photos directly from Hedrich-Blessing in the early 1980's, and this is one of that group. The paper size is 8x10. It is unsigned, but guaranteed to be authentic.
    Feel free to ask me any questions, and to bid with confidence.
