In a burst of neon yellow, orange, green and blue, a signpost is marking off different aspects of the fair against a blue background: the Skyride Tower and the Hall of Science and buildings from the foreign villages, all over a green globe. The Chicago World's Fair marked the first time that neon lights were used extensively, and this poster reflects the novelty, energy and brightness of the many displays. This is the rarer, small format. World of Tomorrow p.14.
