EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. The image captures a north view between the Electricity and Manufactures Building, showcasing the grandeur and innovation that defined this iconic event. The Chicago World's Fair, also known as the Columbian Exposition, was held to commemorate Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. It was a momentous occasion that brought together exhibitors from around the globe to showcase their latest inventions and celebrate human progress. In this photograph, we witness a slice of history frozen in time. The towering structures of both buildings dominate the skyline, symbolizing mankind's triumph over nature through technological advancements. The juxtaposition of electricity with manufacturing highlights how these two forces were shaping society at that time. This image holds particular significance as it is an illustration for "The Magic City" a renowned portfolio edited by J. W Buel which documented various photographic views of this great world fair. Its inclusion in this publication solidifies its historical importance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back to an era filled with wonder and excitement. It serves as a reminder of our collective achievements throughout history while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries even further.
