First edition of this spectacular presentation souvenir album for the Century of Progress which influenced modernist architects for decades, and served as an invaluable exhibit of art deco design motifs. The limited number of presentation albums appear to have been created as gifts by the photographers for the Board of Trustees, Officers, and Founder Members for the Exposition. These remarkable images include a night shot of the Grand Fountain; aerial views of the grounds; the facade of the Hall of Science which typified the linear, geometric Art Deco style of the Fair, designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret, and one of the interior shots showing the Great Hall announcing Planck's Quantum and Einstein's Relativity theories; the General Electric buildings; the stunning Transportation Building with it's amazing Art Deco facade, and a nighttime view of the Planetarium and Terrazzo Reflecting Pools. The photographers have also included an excellent photo of Italo Balbo's squadron of 24 Savoia-Marchetti SM.55X flying boats above Lake Michigan next to the fairgrounds. His planes had left Italy on June 30, 1933, and finally arrived over Chicago on July 15, 1933, and even carrying airmail, of which the commemorative envelopes are still very desired items by collectors. Also included are views of the Streets of Shanghai, Swift's Orchestra Shell, Admiral Byrd's South Pole Ship, the "City of New York," The Chrysler Motors Building, Swiss Village, Electrical building with fireworks in a night scene, and many others. Kaufmann & Fabry was an active commercial photographic firm specializing in architectural photography in Chicago from before 1910, and are still an active company. Founders were Charles D. Kaufmann (b. 1888), an Austrian-American, and Herman Fabry (1879-1955) German-American, who are perhaps best remembered as the official photographers of the 1933 Century of Progress World's Fair, and were awarded not only the rights for publishing and distributing photographs and photos in publications, but also operated a camera shop and film processing lab on the Exhibition grounds through 1933 and 1934.
