Louisiana Purchase Exposition album compiled by Lily H. Tiedeman
Visual Materials
A photograph album compiled by Lily Henrietta Tiedeman (1879-1953) documenting her tour of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition (popularly known as the St. Louis World's Fair), while working as a journalist for the Sedalia Sentinel in Missouri. Tiedeman attended with her brother John Tiedeman, who was business manager of the Sedalia Sentinel at the time. The opening page displays the press pass for "L. H. Tiedeman," followed by 114 photographs presumably taken by her, interspersed with souvenir ephemera including ribbons, tickets, passes, business cards, and badges. The photographs document the attendees, elaborate buildings and grounds, and the various exhibits, particularly the "human zoos" of indigenous people. Images include the Philippine Village featuring Igorot people; Native Americans on horses in front of posters announcing the Custer's Massacre reenactment performances; the Japanese tea garden and pavilion (she pasted in the business card of artist Hokkai Takashima); and the East-India pavilion. Also of note are the Transportation Day photographs of electric trolleys of the St. Louis Car Company. There are a few photographs of a young woman posing, who may be Tiedeman.
