EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event that marked the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The image showcases a group known as the Dahomey Cannibals, who were among the many fascinating exhibits at this historic exhibition. The Chicago World's Fair was an extravagant celebration of human achievement and cultural diversity, attracting exhibitors from all corners of the globe. This particular photograph captures a significant moment during this grand event, shedding light on one of its most intriguing displays. The Dahomey Cannibals were part of an exhibition called "The Magic City" which featured original photographic views curated by J. W. Buel for his book with the same name. Although controversial today, their presence at the fair reflected society's fascination with exotic cultures and served as a reminder of humanity's complex history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported to a time when world exhibitions like these were not only celebrations but also opportunities for education and exploration. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate both our shared history and how far we have come since then. This print serves as a testament to our continuous curiosity about different cultures and our desire to commemorate important milestones throughout history. It reminds us that even though times change, there will always be events worth remembering and celebrating.
