    Description

    Here is a pair of 5” x 7” b/w photographs from the 1936
    Texas Centennial Exposition
    . The first image shows the Pageant of six flags at the opening ceremony. It is noted the 23rd Infantry band was playing and is assembled along the bottom edge. The second image shows U S Sailors marching in formation at the Dallas centennial. The
    Texas Centennial Exposition
    was a world's fair presented from June 6 to November 29, 1936, at Fair Park, Dallas, Texas. A celebration of the 100th anniversary of Texas's independence from Mexico in 1836, it also celebrated Texas and Western American culture. More than 50 buildings were constructed for the exposition, and many remain today as notable examples of Art Deco architecture. Attracting more than six million people including US President Franklin Roosevelt, the exposition was credited with buffering Dallas from the Great Depression. Both photographs by C Ekmark. The images are stamped 20 & 22 on the back. Some very mild wear.
