Title: The New York Official World's Fair Pictorial Map Souvenir Box.
Description: New York: [The World's Fair] 1939. Stout cardboard souvenir box, 365 mm. tall x 190 mm. wide, soft rope carrying handle. A little worn and the red printing to the box has faded. The celebrated artist Tony Sarg was commissioned to produce a large panorama and a series of coloured guide maps to the event> the black and white map of the fair on the outside of the box doesn't seem to have been reproduced elsewhere. This would appear to be a box for purchase by visitors in which they could place their souvenirs as they travelled around the fair. I have been unable to trace another example.
