About this postcard

The card shows a view through a scalloped Moorish arch toward the Belgian Village at the 1933–34 Century of Progress International Exposition in Chicago. The fair, held on the city's lakefront, featured international and corporate pavilions; the Belgian Village recreated a Flemish townscape, while the Morocco exhibit represented North African architecture. This linen-textured souvenir card frames the fairground scene through the Morocco arch.
