First Day of Issue
New York's World's Fair
The Trylon and The Perisphere

The Perisphere is 200 feet high and within viewers can view from a revolving platform suspended in mid-air, a dramatization of the World of Tomorrow. Clusters of fountains will screen the pillars supporting the Sphere so that the great ball will appear to be poised on jets of water. The 700-foot triangular Trylon at the left - a unique architectural form - will serve as a Fair beacon and broadcasting tower.
