Tripoli. 1934.
This striking Art Deco design invites visitors to the Tripoli International Fair. Founded by the Italian government in 1927, it's considered to be the oldest Trade Fair in Africa and continues to this day. This year's fair was particularly notable: travelers arrived via the first air trip in the Libyan Sahara's oasis, and an Italian postage stamp was created to honor the event.
