This is a very large but very special graphic relating to the late, great New Jersey State Fair which was located in the area of today's Grounds For Sculpture. The "Interstate Fair" began way back in the 1880's and left the Hamilton area in the 1960's.
One of the incredibly wonderful miracles of modern digital technology allow me to set my camera to the "Macro" setting and snap a photo of the centerfold of a 1931 Trenton Times newspaper, The graphic above was foxed (tanned) with age and easily brought back to the original black and white with appropriate computer imaging software. The graphic above is an example of the unheard of abilities of digital cameras when compared to the old film camera with darkrooms, enlargers, and all the other cumbersome equipment required during the years of film photography. So, get your mouse or mouse pad ready and travel across the centerfold of the Sunday Times Advertiser advertising of Trenton's "STATE FAIR WEEK."
