Expositions & Worlds Fairs is an evolving book series written by trade show industry historian Bob McGlincy. The first book in the series, Expositions & World’s Fairs: In the Beginning, examines the early beginnings of these events, and how they became cultural hubs where the world learned about new innovations that have now become commonplace in our modern lives, from zippers to elevators. I coordinated with the publisher to create variations for hardcover and paperback copies, and combined public domain images to create layered diorama-like scenes of these historic expos.
