This brochure for the South Manchuria Railway was issued as part of the Japanese exhibit at the 1933 – 34 Chicago World’s Fair “A Century of Progress.” The SMR (aka ?? “Mantetsu”) was one of Japan’s most important and profitable companies during the 1930s. The brochure is not as modern or stylistic as others but combines traditional Chinese images with modern graphic design.
