1939 New York World's Fair

 

1939 New York World's Fair: It’s theme was the Dawn of a New Day - the world of tomorrow. 

I love the euphoria and optimism.  This was right before World War 2.  It was as if they were oblivious to the real future that lied just ahead. Or perhaps they did sense what was coming  and preferred to look to the distant future, one that included fantastic inventions like Electro the robot created by Westinghouse, where everything was amazing and the world lived in peace.
