Romania 1939

NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1939-1940 which had as a motto "I have seen the future"

"I think that there are moments where you can see the world turning from what it is into what it will be. For me, the New York World's Fair is such a moment. It is a compass rose pointing in all directions, toward imaginary future and real past, false future and immutable present, a world of tomorrow contained in the lost American yesterday."
(John Crowley, The World of Tomorrow)

The stamps depict Romanian pavillion.
