The "Pike," the amusement midway of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, is the subject here, shown as the bustling strip of concessions and attractions that drew crowds away from the exhibit palaces in Forest Park. The fair, held in St. Louis in 1904 to mark a century since the Louisiana Purchase, was one of the largest international expositions of its era. Stereograph cards like this one were sold to visitors and armchair viewers, who could see the scene in three dimensions through a stereoscope. The record's details come from the original caption card and have not been independently verified, so the exact date and vantage point should be treated with some caution.
