A bilingual guide to the World's Fair in Chicago. The text is printed with English on the upper half of the page and Spanish below. Illustrated with scenes of the fabulous buildings on the grounds, and obviously sponsored by "Knox the Hatter," with ads for the haberdasher throughout, on the covers, and at each end of the main text. A slightly sad copy, and obviously used at the event. Still, a rare and interesting survivor.
Price: $350
