In 1925 Ogden Nash was hired in the marketing department of the Doubleday publishing house. Nash said that it was the poor quality of the manuscripts he read that led him to try to write.

Hand-coloured lithograph proof with gum arabic by Joseph Nash after his own drawing. Signed by Nash lower right. Text included. Image size: 13 3/4 x 19 1/2 inches. Sheet size: 26 1/2 x 19 inches.

The declared aims of the exhibition were to celebrate human progress in the form of manufacture, invention and good design, and to promote cooperation between nations. The size of the exhibition space was fixed at 700,000 square feet, and the government was persuaded to treat the Crystal Palace as a bonded warehouse, so that no import duties were payable on goods imported for the exhibition. As it happened, and despite government skepticism, the event was a huge success, both nationally and internationally, and received over 6,000,000 visitors. The exhibition ranged in scope from ornamental furniture and modern machinery to an elaborate tent from Tunis.…
