Sally Rand was arrested four times for indecent exposure on the first day she appeared at the 1933
World's Fair
in
Chicago
because she appeared to be
dancing
nude behind
feather
fans. Actually, it was an illusion; she wore a flesh colored body suit that only made her look nude. PICTURE OF SALLY IS FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT INCLUDED WITH TAPESTRY.
______________
A Century of Progress International Exposition was a World's Fair, which was held in Chicago, as The Chicago World's Fair, from 1933 to 1934 to celebrate the city's centennial. The theme of the fair was technological innovation. The fair's motto was "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Adapts", giving out a message that science and American life were wedded. Its architectural symbol was the Sky Ride, a transporter bridge perpendicular to the shore on which one could ride from one side of the fair to the other.
One description of the fair noted that the world, "then still mired in the malaise of the Great Depression, could glimpse a happier not-too-distant future, all driven by innovation in science and technology." Fair visitors saw the latest wonders in rail travel, automobiles, architecture and cigarette-smoking robots. The exposition "emphasized technology and progress, a utopia, or perfect world, founded on democracy and manufacturing.
This Tapestry takes you through the Fair, beginning at the Travel and Transportation Building in the center of it all. This is a rare piece and it is an original vintage piece which I'm told may have been made in Belgium.
Thanks for looking.
