{"product_id":"panorama","title":"Panorama","description":"2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE), and this fully illustrated coffee table book focuses on the groundbreaking exhibition and its fascinating participants. The book opens with a large-scale map of the exhibit, with arrows pointing to events and individual people who were there: historic figures including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Maria Montessori, aviator Lincoln Beachey, composer John Phillips Souza, and Charlie Chaplin. Subsequent pages have blow-ups of map sections with stories about the exhibitors and their impact on early 20th-century America. The book also contains a history of the development of the fair through the eyes of the author's great-grandfather, Reuben Hale, who was responsible for its vision and realization, against long odds.","brand":"ABRAMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665070362660,"sku":"9781937359683","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781937359683.jpg?v=1776899140","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/panorama","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
