EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant characters of the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893. The Midway, a bustling section of the fair, comes to life through this lens of an American photographer from the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a portfolio showcasing original photographic views of the grand Worlds Fair. In this snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness the arrival of Columbus in the New World in 1492. History unfolds before our eyes as we observe various historical figures and their lively interactions within this iconic event. The Chicago Columbian Exposition marked its anniversary with great pomp and celebration, making it a birthday party like no other. Exhibitions from around the world converged at this global spectacle, attracting exhibitors eager to showcase their innovations and cultural heritage. This photograph encapsulates not only a momentous occasion but also serves as a testament to human progress throughout history. As we gaze upon these characters on display at the midway, we are reminded of how far society has come since that fateful year in 1893. This image stands as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation that continues to captivate viewers today.
