EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Ferris Wheel, a marvel of engineering that was unveiled at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Created by Henry Hamilton Bennett, this albumen print showcases the grandeur and scale of this magnificent structure. The image transports us back to a time when amusement parks were still a novelty, and the Ferris Wheel stood as a symbol of progress and entertainment. Its towering presence dominates the skyline, surrounded by other buildings that make up the Midway Plaisance. Bennett's expertise in stereoscopic photography is evident in this stunning stereo albumen print. The depth and dimensionality achieved through his technique bring an added sense of realism to the scene, allowing viewers to almost step into this historic moment. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of America's rich heritage in art and innovation. The Art Institute of Chicago proudly houses this piece within its collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. It serves as a testament to both Bennett's artistic vision and his contribution to documenting important moments in history through his lens. This print not only captures an architectural wonder but also encapsulates an era where fairs provided joyous escapism from everyday life. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then while appreciating our country's enduring spirit of creativity and entertainment.
