General

This postcard was sent in 1938 and obviously shows a designer's image, rather than the actual exposition site. Also, the dates shown on the message side are incorrect: the exposition actually ran from February 18, 1939, through October 29, 1939, and from May 25, 1940, through September 29, 1940. Stanley A. Piltz (1887-1973) was a pioneer of the linen type postcard with the "'Pictorial Wonderland' Art Tone Series", of which this is an example.
