Description: Expo 67 - Montreal, Quebec- CANADA - Province of Quebec Pavilion: The 1967 International and Universal Exposition or Expo 67, as it was commonly known, was a general exhibition, Category One World's Fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from April 27 to October 29, 1967. It is considered to be the most successful World's Fair of the 20th century with the most attendees to that date and 62 nations participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a world's fair, with 569,500 visitors on its third day. Expo 67 was Canada's main celebration during its centennial year. The Québec Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal was a steel and glass frustum structure built above a body of water between the Ontario and French Pavilions on Notre Dame Island. Modern lines characterized the architecture of the Québec Pavilion. Its exterior walls were made of glass; by day, these were enormous rectangular mirrors and, by night, an illuminated display case. Surrounded by water, the structure was accessible by a footbridge. The Québec Pavilion displayed a minimal approach to form. The flawless construction, by Montreal architects Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc and Luc Durand, composed of concrete floors and Vierendeel structural steel supported by four steel towers, left the viewer without a doubt of the pavilion’s harmonious and sophisticated assembly. This Photochromatic postcard mailed in 1967, is in good condition, but there is some edge wear. Benjamin News Co. Montreal, Canada.
