Also known as the "Midwinter Exposition" or the "Midwinter Fair" this Exposition was a World's Fair, designed to follow the successful 1893 Chicago World's Fair. It was located in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco where it enjoyed a run of six months. Items from this Fair are extremely hard to come by, and this collection will be of great interest to collectors of World's Fair images and memorabilia.
