First edition of this spectacular presentation souvenir album for the Century of Progress which influenced modernist architects for decades and served as an invaluable exhibit of art deco design motifs. The limited number of presentation albums appear to have been created as gifts by the photographers for the Board of Trustees Officers and Founder Members for the Exposition. These remarkable images include a night shot of the Grand Fountain; aerial views of the grounds; the facade of the Hall of Science which typified the linear geometric Art Deco style of the Fair designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret and one of the interior shots showing the Great Hall announcing Planck’s Quantum and Einstein’s Relativity theories; the General Electric buildings; the stunning Transportation Building with it’s amazing Art Deco facade and a nighttime view of the Planetarium and Terrazzo Reflecting Pools. The photographers have also included an excellent photo of Italo Balbo’s squadron of 24 Savoia-Marchetti SM.55X flying boats above Lake Michigan next to the fairgrounds. His planes had left Italy on June 30 1933 and finally arrived over Chicago on July 15 1933 and even carrying airmail of which the commemorative envelopes are still very desired items by collectors. Also included are views of the Streets of Shanghai Swift’s Orchestra Shell Admiral Byrd’s South Pole Ship the “City of New York†The Chrysler Motors Building Swiss Village Electrical building with fireworks in a night scene and many others. Kaufmann & Fabry was an active commercial photographic firm specializing in architectural photography in Chicago from before 1910 and are still an active company. Founders were Charles D. Kaufmann b. 1888 an Austrian-American and Herman Fabry 1879-1955 German-American who are perhaps best remembered as the official photographers of the 1933 Century of Progress World’s Fair and were awarded not only the rights for publishing and distributing photographs and photos in publications but also operated a camera shop and film processing lab on the Exhibition grounds through 1933 and 1934.

Slight wear including a ca. 3" separation at front joint near crown; a few leaves with faint marginal soil or foxing away from printed area; complete and Very Good.<br /> <br /> One of presumably very few presentation albums presented by the Century of Progress Exposition to prominent backers and members of Chicago's elite. The photographs all produced by the Exposition's official photographer the Kaufman & Fabry Company are of the highest quality exceptional for capturing the high modernism of the period and indeed of the event itself which is still considered a pivotal moment in the popularization of the modernist aesthetic in the United States as well as the introduction of the "Art Deco" style. Significantly the plan and most of the Exposition's infrastructure were designed by the young architects Louis Skidmore and Nathaniel Owings who a few years later would go on to found the epoch-defining firm Skidmore Owings & Merrill whose high-rise office towers came to personify the skylines of many of America's major cities Chicago's in particular. Though no limitation is stated for this album given the expense of production we would surmise that no more than a few dozen would have been produced. OCLC notes ten copies in American institutions each with presentations to a different recipient; a few others traced at auction and in commerce. unknown

Very Good. Originally from Lawrenceville New York the Shepard Family Band toured throughout the Northeast in the 1880s and 1890s eventually settling in South Royalton Vermont. All members of the family were apparently musically inclined: “In addition to Minnie mother and matriarch Mary “Minnie†Shepard and her husband patriarch James Monroe Shepard all of the children were pressed into service. Daughter Laura Belle the ‘violiniste’ was getting better all the time under the instruction of a ‘competent master.’ Her fans “will be astonished at the improvement in style tone and expression.†It was said of little Lessie that ‘Among lady cornetists she has no equal.’ The darling little son of the family Master Burtie could not help but please for he was well-known to be ‘The youngest Tuba soloist in the world; only nine years of age; scarcely larger than the instrument he plays.’ He was also a ‘clever comedian singer and character artist.†The baby little Flossie “a sweet little miss of four summers’ was said to be a “wonderful mimic and impersonator…a veritable little fairy.’ Daughters Kittie and Georgia were also part of the troupe.†- Henry Sheldon Museum. A very nice collection. Various Photographers unknown
