EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event in history. The image showcases two remarkable structures that stood as symbols of exploration and safety during this grand exhibition. On the left side, we see the Lighthouse and Life-Saving Station, standing tall against the backdrop of a bustling fairground. This structure served as a beacon of hope for sailors navigating Lake Michigan, guiding them safely to shore. Its presence reminds us of the importance placed on maritime safety during this era. To the right stands an awe-inspiring sight - The Viking Ship. A relic from centuries past, this ship represents both adventure and discovery. It serves as a reminder of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492, marking an important milestone in world history. This print was originally featured in "The Magic City" a comprehensive portfolio capturing original photographic views of the great World's Fair edited by J. W Buel. As we gaze upon this image today, it transports us back to that momentous occasion when exhibitors from around the world gathered to showcase their innovations and celebrate human achievement. As we commemorate this anniversary with birthday festivities, let us appreciate not only these magnificent structures but also reflect on how exhibitions like these have shaped our understanding of history and continue to inspire generations to come.
