This charming vintage photo is of four women standing in front of a large stone fireplace in 1934 at the Chicago Worlds Fair, Century of Progress Exposition Fair. It was probably a souvenir photograph taken as a memory of the experience. A Century of Progress International Exposition was held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Chicago.

This old stone fireplace was probably part of one of either two attractions at the fair. The Colonial Village filled with replicas of significant historical buildings and relics of the Colonial era of American history or the Foreign Village which had an impressive collection of picturesque villages from foreign lands and from long ago.

This photograph is a historic treasure and a charming momento as well.
Old photographs have a way of alluding to more than the eye can see.
This photo captures a moment in time that has a story that speaks volumes to the imagination.

For sale is the actual photograph not a print.

So many things can be done with these vintage photos. They are open to the imagination of the artist as well as the collector. Interesting and compelling images for framing as well as for your altered art uses.

Sent to you in a plastic sleeve.
