Description
Book SynopsisThe Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition was a time of wonder in a 'citadel set in stars' - a grand world's fair that transformed the summer of 1909 in Seattle into a whirl of excitement and pleasure. The best record of the event was made by Frank H Nowell, official photographer for the exposition. This book illuminates both the man and the fair.
Trade Review"Nicolette Bromberg's excellent, exhaustively researched book on the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909 and the fair's official photographer, Frank H. Nowell, will be much appreciated by both historians and students of photography."

"'Picturing the Alaska-Yukon-Exposition: The Photographs of Frank H. Nowell' opens another entryway into the 1909 fairgrounds, through the eyes of the A-Y-P's official photographer whose black-and-white images are handsomely reproduced here."
