Notes:
The 1967 International and Universal Exposition, most commonly referred to as “Expo 67” was an unprecedented event in Canada. It launched the country, as well as the City of Montréal, onto the global stage. At the time, Sam Falk had been a staff photographer with the New York Times since 1925 and enjoyed his pick of assignments. This print was used as a header image for a New York Times photo spread, and was printed in 1967. On the front of this work there are reproduction instructions in pencil, with retouching fluid and adhesive tape. Prior to digital tools and images, photographic images were manipulated and edited manually. This print is a unique souvenir of an important event and its representation in the media.
The full sheet size is 9 ½ x 11 inches.
Please note: this work is unframed.
