Description

The Palace of Manufacturers, 525 by 1200 feet and built for 719,000 dollars by the medal's account, takes the obverse of HK-322a under "Worlds Fair St. Louis." For the reverse the maker reused the Palace of Liberal Arts die from HK-317, with its 525 by 750 foot plan and 475,000 dollar cost. Two metals are recorded for the pairing: this reeded aluminum piece and a brass one, HK-322b. Its borders are beaded, and the "Worlds Fair St. Louis" heading repeats over the Liberal Arts view, so the two halls read as a matched set. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition opened in 1904 after a year's delay. Aluminum, 36 mm.
