Illustrated brick-red softcovers cover art of Powhatan Indian w/ view of Jamestown in background minor dustsoiling edgewear still a VG bright copy. First edition of this uncommon prospectus intended to attract visitors and exhibitors to the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition intended to follow after the great successes of the 1893 Columbian Exposition 1901 Pan-American and the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Unfortunately the organizers were less than competent and by opening day only one-third of the fair’s grounds and buildings were complete Norfolk VA had very limited accommodations and poor transportation connections and there was an emphasis on Naval & military achievements including a re-enactment of the Battle of Hampton Roads between the CSS Virginia and the USS Monitor. The Powhatan Tribe settlement was shoved off to the Midway where it was overshadowed by the 101 Ranch Wild West Show so it was much less visited by the 3 million tourists. However the African-American Exhibition proved quite popular and the Negro Development and Exposition Co. estimated they drew 3000-12000 spectators per day. Jamestown Exposition Co., paperback

Caughey 1851-1925 was an Ohio Civil War veteran an itinerant chalk plate artist and had just created the year before in Feb. 1904 a Birds-Eye view reproduced over two pages in the Lewis and Clark Journal with noted birds-eye artist and cartographer Fred Routledge 1871-1936.
