Worlds Fair Morris Gest's Little Miracle Town Booklet

Item Details

Description

Morris Gest's Little Miracle Town: With The World's Greatest Midget Artistes. This was a booklet sold at the 1939 New York World's Fair. The booklet is approx 7" x 10 1/2" and it weighs under one pound at 0.22lb. Has 32 pages. The booklet is in a good, vintage condition with shelf-wear on the cover.

Every detail was in miniature to accommodate its 125 midget inhabitants. Brought over from Europe by Morris Gest, the 36,000 square foot exhibit contained a restaurant, city hall, theater, art gallery, and railroad station all tailored to the diminutive stature of the town's inhabitants. Admission: 25¢ Little Miracle Town Booklet Courtesy of Cathy Scibelli This is more than the typical attraction brochure, it is a tribute to the Little People who lived, performed, and worked in the village during the Fair. The booklet is filled with facts and photographs, including portraits of 63 of the town's folk.
