EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, specifically to the Italian Section where a magnificent display of sculpture was showcased. The image, captured by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into this historical event that celebrated both art and innovation. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a portfolio of original photographic views edited by J. W. Buel in 1894. It beautifully captures the grandeur and splendor of the Italian Section at the fair, highlighting intricate sculptures that were exhibited during this momentous occasion. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how exhibitions like these played significant roles in shaping history. The Chicago World's Fair marked not only Columbus' arrival to the New World in 1492 but also commemorated important anniversaries and birthdays. With its rich historical context, this print transports us back to an era when world exhibitions were eagerly anticipated events that brought together exhibitors from around the globe. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship displayed through these sculptures but also their role in telling stories from different cultures. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now relish this remarkable piece of history and immerse ourselves in one of humanity's greatest celebrations of artistry and progress.
