Rosalie Fairbanks, a guide to the New York World's Fair, points to the fair's joint symbols, the Trylon and Perisphere, February 22, 1939. The entire sheath of scaffolding was removed for the first time on this day. The Trylon and Perisphere symbolized progress—the theme of the fair was "The World of Tomorrow." (In those days, people believed that life would improve in the future.)

Ford Building, 1939 NY World's Fair by Richard Via Flickr: 35mm color slides of the 1939/40 New York World's Fair. The photographer may have purchased the film at the Kodak Exhibit and then had it developed there.

Trylon and Perisphere - New York World’s Fair 1939 commemorative linen postcard. (via Yesterdays-Paper)

Night image of the Theme Center of the 1939 - 1940 NY World's Fair. The name "Perisphere" was coined using the Greek prefix peri-, meaning "all around", "about", or "enclosing" and  "Trylon" was coined from the phrase "triangular pylon".
