Provenance
This collection forms part of the Jay T. Last Collection of Graphic Arts and
Social History, which was donated to the Huntington Library by Jay T. Last in
2005 as a gift in progress. The bulk of the
fairs and expositions prints and ephemera were transferred to the
Library between 2010 and 2012.
The collection partially consists of materials assembled by collector Russ
Mascieri, which were acquired by Last in 2000. The majority of these materials
were incorporated into the main body of the fairs and expositions prints and
ephemera, with the exception of a group of trade cards that has been kept intact
(see Series I, Subseries B, Binder 13).
Background
The Jay T. Last Collection is an unparalleled archive of printed paper artifacts
that documents American lithographic, social, and business history. The
collection began in the early 1970s when physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer
Jay Last moved to Southern California and started collecting citrus box labels
he found at local flea markets and rummage sales. As his collection grew, Last
realized that these labels conveyed important information about commercial
printing, graphic design, and social history, and he expanded his collection to
include other forms of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than 200,000 lithographic prints, posters,
and ephemera of mostly
nineteenth- and early twentieth- century American origin and represents works by
more than five hundred lithographic companies.
Scope and Content
The Jay T. Last Collection of Fairs and Expositions
Prints and Ephemera contains more than 1,965 printed items that relate to fairs,
exhibitions, expositions, and other similar gatherings and events in the United
States from 1834 to 1970, with the bulk of material pertaining to the United States
Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1876. The collection
consists of advertising prints, promotional ephemera, business records, and illustrations produced for specific events,
for exhibitors at these events, and for businesses that provided collateral services to event-goers including food, lodging,
and transportation.
Materials are arranged in two series: small-size items (11 x 14 inches or less) and
large-size items (bigger than 11 x 14 inches). Small-size items are described
broadly at the series level; large-size items are fully inventoried, and all
printers, artists, and publishers are indexed by name. The collection includes approximately 100 large-size items comprised
mainly of lithographic and engraved prints, including
advertising and promotional prints, souvenir programs and specialty newspapers, and
view prints depicting exhibition buildings. Small-size items number approximately
1,865 and contain a variety of promotional materials including trade cards,
calendars, booklets, programs, tickets, leaflets, guides, stationery, and printed
billheads and letterheads with manuscript text. Each series is divided into three
subseries and sorted by fair or exhibition. General Fairs and Expositions materials
form Subseries A and are arranged chronologically, with the United States Centennial
Exhibition and World's Columbian Exhibition each contained in their own subseries
(Subseries B and C, respectively).
Prints and ephemera pertaining to international, regional, and local fairs and
expositions make up the collection. The bulk of the material is related to the
United States Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1876, but
also prominent are materials related to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition held
in Chicago, Illinois, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of explorer Christopher
Columbus' arrival in the New World. Other fairs and exhibitions represented in the
collection include the Great International Exhibition in London, England, the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, California, the Exhibition
of the Industry of All Nations in New York City, the World's Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana, and various local county fairs.
The collection touches on topics of American business development, tourism,
industrial advances, agricultural exhibitions, community events and celebrations.
The images are primarily promotional in nature and provide information about the
history of fairs and expositions in the United States and their roles in both small
and large communities, as well as the evolution of advertising
strategies in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection also reflects America's
progression from a rural agricultural society to an urban industrial environment, and the
technological innovations that developed during this transformation. As graphic materials, the items offer evidence of
printmaking techniques and trends, as well as information about the artists, engravers, lithographers,
printers, and publishers involved in the creative process.
