The 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, better known as the St. Louis World's Fair, drew visitors to a site of several hundred acres in Forest Park, and this long, narrow panoramic view captures its scale in a way a single snapshot could not. The fair opened to celebrate the centennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and showcased new technology, international pavilions, and the Olympic Games held that summer as part of the fair's program. Panoramas like this one, printed as wide, horizontal views, were popular souvenirs that let viewers take in the layout of the grounds, its palaces, and its crowds all at once.
