Blue shirt with Century 21 World's Fair print and label, 1962

This child’s button-up shirt was sold as a souvenir at the Century 21 World’s Fair in Seattle in 1962. It features a print with the official fair logo as well as a small line drawing of the fairgrounds with Mount Rainier in the background. The drawing includes a slightly odd rendering of the Space Needle, indicating that the illustration was likely based off concept art of the fairgrounds before they were completed. The shirt came with a price tag saying it had been discounted to 77 cents.
