Some examples of postcards published in connection with the New York World’s Fair as officially licensed publicity material.
The 1939–40 New York World's Fair, held at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York, USA, was the second-most expensive American world's fair of all time, exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904.
Many countries around the world participated in it, and over 44 million people attended its exhibits in two seasons.
It was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow".
