This is a picture of the symbols of the 1939 World's Fair in Flushing Meadow Park, The Trylon and Perisphere. Unlike the Unisphere of the '64 fair, these structures were torn down soon after the fair ended. Their quasi-sci-fi appearance was typical of the theme of the World's Fair, the future of technology. They really served no purpose other than as a logo of that event. --Submitted by Marilyn Terman |
