1959réf. 60933Portland OR & Seattle WA: Smith 1959. Ten RPPC silver gelatin photographs all w/ description and inventory number w/in negative at lower fore-edge slight age toning very slight edgewear still VG. A nice set of 10 souvenir RPPC’s shot during the 100 day run of the Oregon Centennial Exposition. The 1859-1959 Centennial Exposition lasted from June 10 to Sept. 17 on 65 acres along the Columbia River formerly Vanport wiped away in the tragic 1948 flood and also featured a Gayway Amusement Park Garden of Tomorrow & Adventureland. The Exposition featured everything from Mossman’s Can-Can girl revue to steam locomotives Modernist sculptures and murals by Louis Bunce and other Oregon artists and the striking Hall of Religious History in the Garden of Tomorrow which featured murals of Carl Morris. This re-created town from the 1870’s Old West featured the Golden Nugget dance hall & saloon as well as livery stable church post office and hotel and proved to be the most successful attraction. The Oregon Centennial only attracted about 1.5 million visitors and largely operated at a loss which encouraged the nascent Seattle World’s Fair organizers to strip out their Western theme and focus instead on their later very successful Century 21 futurism theme.
