I would appreciate it, however, if you could notify me immediately of your return, as it is likely that I will have received a duplicate order. THIS CATALOGUE (142) is my current entry to a series of catalogues that I have compiled which have focused on books and ephemera relating to World’s Fairs and International Expositions. The pedigree began with my Special List 91-A issued in 1991 (under the Schoyer’s Books imprint) followed by a Schoyer’s Books Catalogue No. 27 (1992), and then more recently by Catalogues 123, 126, 132, and 138 issued under my personal moniker. ¶ Travels in Europe in recent years have opened up the field of foreign expositions to me, especially the various Paris and Barcelona expos. And I am fortunate to live in an area that also hosted three international expositions (1894, 1915, 1939-40). I plan to continue exploring this topic—and acquiring material and issuing the occasional catalogue, available in both print and pdf versions. ¶ Regarding the cataloguing style herein, in my search for bibliographical information [such as author or publication date], and for signs of institutional scarcity [or abundance], I checked most titles against the OCLC [World Cat.], as well as an occasional foreign catalogue, and specific institutional catalogues. However, I understand that (1) not all institutions have their catalogues listed therein and (2) much ephemeral material of the kind offered here simply has not been catalogued or completely accessioned. Therefore, “Not located in OCLC” means that I performed a search, usu- ally under a few different parameters [e.g., publisher/publisher location], but did not turned up any holdings. It does not necessarily mean that a copy is not lurking in some folder or phase box—or is, in fact, listed on OCLC. All items, of course, are sent on approval, which allows you to inspect items against those of similar nature or title. —MS Catalogue Number 142 /WORLD’S FAIRS & EXPOSITIONS 3 To Order 510-548-8009 1.

In 1909, Seattle was the site of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, a world's fair held to publicize the development of the Pacific Northwest. This was one of Seattle’s largest events and it was originally planned for 1907, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush, but the organizers found out about the Jamestown Exposition being held that year, and rescheduled. The fairgrounds became the campus of the University of Washington. 4 The fair evolved from an inspiration by Godfrey Chealander, the Grand Secretary of the Arctic Brotherhood. He was one of the organizers of the Alaska Territory exhibit at the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition which was held in Portland, Oregon.

  • 1 a Chanson Des Vieux Amants? Belgium and the World's Fairs Dr. Rika Devos Department of Architecture & Urban Planning, Gh
    A chanson des vieux amants? Belgium and the world’s fairs dr. Rika Devos Department of Architecture & Urban Planning, Ghent University St.-Lucas, Department of Architecture, Wenk World’s fair architecture: a setting for discussion World’s fairs would have lost their meaning in today’s mediatised global village: in 2010, this is old news, as world’s fairs, by their very existence, continue to deliver proof of the will to show, to (re)consider, nothing less than the world. Printed press, live satellite television, Internet, YouTube and Skype, multinational corporations, free travel, changed concepts of the nation and international relations, Europe without borders: all these eye and mind openers have not, as was suggested by many in the 1990ies, drained the sense and purpose from world’s fairs. Ever since the first post-war world’s fair – Expo 58, held in Brussels – organisers have publically questioned the use of their events, as from the 1950s onwards, evolutions in science, (tele)communications and transportation theoretically made the world accessible to all. But world’s fairs offer a specific view of the world, bound by place, time and the exhibition’s theme, which give order and sense to the gathering. Indeed, one of the criteria used by the BIE1 to grant a city the right to organise a world’s fair is the choice and elaboration of a relevant theme. Such a theme – in case of Shanghai 2010 ‘Better City, Better Life’ – has to set the goals for the fair, give sense to the efforts of the participants, provide an opportunity to differentiate from others and unite all in a conceptual way.

  • Former Yugoslav Pavilion Wevelgem
    Former Yugoslav Pavilion Wevelgem Address: Deken Jonckheerestraat 7, Wevelgem Architecture type: pavillion A Architects: Vjenceslav Richter Style: modernism, expo-style Year: 1958 Region: Kortrijk Epoch: after war © Pieter Lozie The current school building of the Sint-Pauluscollege was designed by celebrated Croatian architect Vjenceslav Richter. The building was designed as the national pavilion of Yugoslavia (modern day Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia) for the 1958 World Fair in Brussels. During the World Fair the pavilion was awarded the gold star award as it was considered the best pavilion among foreign country participants. The architect was even awarded Knight of the Order of the Belgian Crown. The first part of the exhibition highlighted the evolution of the industry in the country and the resources that were naturally to be found in Yugoslavia like metals. The first gallery introduced the visitor to the history of the country and also contained modern historical events at that time and the ultimate formation of the Yugoslav republic. A second gallery was dedicated to current social status of the country as of 1958. A third part exhibited artworks by modern Yugoslav artists. This included paintings, sculptures, architecture and applied arts pieces and had to demonstrate the diversity of the country through its art. A final part of the exhibition had to give visitors an idea of the cultural and historical heritage to be found in the country as well as its natural landscapes. The garden surrounding the pavilion also exhibited sculptures, among them the Nada tower by Richter himself. After the World Fair ended the building was sold to Adriaan De Jaegere who was starting a new school at the time in Wevelgem.
