About the Item
This striking original 1962 poster by Earle Duff was created for the Century 21 Exposition, more famously known as the Seattle World’s Fair. Held from April to October 1962, the fair was a landmark celebration of the future, science, and technology—aptly themed "America’s Space Age World's Fair."
The poster captures the spirit of optimism and progress that defined the early 1960s, as the United States stood on the brink of the space age. The Century 21 Exposition was not only a cultural and technological showcase, but also a statement of American modernity during the Cold War era. Featuring innovations in science, transportation, computing, and space exploration, it introduced millions of visitors to a vision of the 21st century—and gave birth to iconic structures like the Space Needle and the Monorail.
Earle Duff, a Seattle-based designer, contributed to the fair’s visual identity with this bold and streamlined composition, reflecting mid-century modern aesthetics and the era’s fascination with aerospace innovation.
Today, this poster stands as both a collectible design artifact and a historic snapshot of a time when America dared to dream big and reach for the stars.
