Sea Cliff World's Fair Poster
Posted Sunday, May 1, 2011 10:09 PM

 At the end of the Great Depression, in the marshes that were Flushing Meadows, a new World's Fair attracted many of our parents, and like a few others, I attended en utero.  I didn't notice the Sea Cliff poster, and Tom Duck ('55) only noticed 72 years after its publication.  He was kind enough to send along an image in which you will recognize some by-gones of Sea Cliff. You might note in the fine print at the bottom that this poster was created by government's Works Projects Administration that channeled a lot of money to artists and writers.
