Streamlined and boldly geometric, the Agricultural Building of Chicago's 1933 "Century of Progress" Exposition strides across a linen-textured postcard in a palette of burnt orange, cobalt blue, and gold — Art Deco modernism at full swagger, with American flags snapping from tall masts above terraced ramps and manicured grounds stretching toward the viewer. The Century of Progress International Exposition, held on the lakefront in Chicago from May 1933 through October 1934, was a defiant celebration of science and industry at the depths of the Great Depression, drawing nearly 39 million visitors across two seasons. The Agricultural Building, designed in the streamlined moderne style that defined the fair's visual identity, showcased American farming achievements to a nation that desperately needed optimism. This unused linen card (No. 115) was printed by the American Colortype Company of Chicago — one of the premier postcard lithographers of the era — with a faint stain to the lower-right back corner that does not affect the front image.
