| Abstract | Examines German and Austrian participation at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. Germany had created a reconstruction of Schloss Charlottenburg, following a "particularly conservative directive from the Emperor." Austria focuses on "contemporary, modernist style when designing its pavilion and assembling its cultural displays. The unofficial representation of the country at the Tyrolean village, on the other hand, provided a stark contrast to this, emphasizing stereotypical images of rural and imperial life, in a decidedly unmodern depiction of the country." The April 1904 edition of the World's Fair Bulletin stated, "St. Louis wants the Tyrolean Alps to tell the story of the St. Louisan's affection for the old country and faith in the new home." |
