Glamorous night shots as seen in not-quite-real-looking postcards from the 1930s and ’40s are among my favorites. And this shot, of the Texas Centennial Exposition Midway at night-time is so, so GREAT!
The text on the back of the card:
Night life in all its glory and glamour. Oddities, Animal Shows and Girl Shows to charm the most fastidious, along the Midway.

Spectacular view-thanks Paula
Where are those light stands now? Guess they were neglected and had to be removed. Whether that was by accident or intention we’ll never know.
Can’t see what type of crime it is that only adults can prevent. Is that a sea monster sideshow next door? ’36 was happening!
