Risque Souvenir Ferrotype from the 1939 New York World’s Fair’s Crystal 
Palace.

An amusing and risque ferrotype in a paper holder, showing two couples 
standing behind typical cutout bodies- except that the women’s bodies 
have bare breasts. The 1853 New York World’s Fair had a Crystal Palace, 
a grand iron and glass building housing the industrial wonders of all 
nations; the 1939 New York World’s Fair had a Crystal Place as well- “a 
potpourri burlesque” including topless swimmers and dancers, and 
Salvador Dali's “Dream Of Venus”. And, as we see here, photo 
opportunities.

Ferrotype. 3.5”x5.5” [mount], 3”x2.25” [visible image]. Mount with light 
wear and soil, image with very very very small crack on one side.  
[43725]  $65
