[CHICAGO]. SARG, Anthony Frederick (1880-1942). Century of Progress 1833-1933. A Geographical Map of the Century of Progress Exposition Held in Chicago, Illinois 1933. Chicago: The Lakeside Press for the Reuben H. Donnelley Corporation, 1933.
Pictorial side-by-side map "printed in watercolors" depicting the south and north ends of the Columbian Exposition, 1420 x 640 mm, mounted on a larger linen-backed sheet.
Sarg's map depicts the Midway of the World's Fair in the south, and the lagoon to the north. Included are the Goodyear Blimp, the General Motors pavilion, the Adler Planetarium, the Aquarium, the Field Museum, and Soldier Field, with cartoon-like fish and an octopus. Sarg shows visitors enjoying the fair, and highlights rickshaws and a fair patron with sore so-called "Exposition Feet." A FINE BRIGHT EXAMPLE.
