This is a commemorative booklet or program for the "Panthéon de la Guerre" (Pantheon of the War) cyclorama, which was exhibited at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, also known as "A Century of Progress Exposition".
Key details about the Panthéon de la Guerre:
It was a massive circular painting, considered the largest in the world at the time, measuring 402 feet in circumference and 45 feet high.
Created in Paris during World War I, it depicted approximately 6,000 prominent Allied wartime figures.
After touring the U.S. in the interwar period, it was eventually donated to the Liberty Memorial Museum (now the National WWI Museum and Memorial) in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1957.
Kansas City artist Daniel MacMorris reconfigured sections of the original canvas to create a mural that is now displayed on the north wall of Memory Hall at the Museum.
Also included in this lot is the 1933 Official Guidebook of the Fair
