A Case of Funny Things from the Fair

Obl. aluminium case containing a rare complete set of thin aluminium plates w. (mostly) humorous erotic images and captions like "World's Fair Milk Route", "The Early Bird catches the Worm" and "A fresh water shower bath". 5 x 9 cm.

*Aluminium was introduced as a mass market product in the early 20th century. Given that the World's Fair was a place to exhibit new achievements in technology, it also turned out to be an ideal spot for the development of new types of erotic ephemera, as evidenced by this unique piece.
