EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event that celebrated the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The image showcases an enchanting Odalisque from the Seraglio, captured by an American photographer from the 19th century. This particular photograph was featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a remarkable portfolio of original photographic views of the Great World's Fair edited by J. W. Buel and published in 1894. The Chicago World's Fair was a grand exhibition that brought together exhibitors from all corners of the world, showcasing their innovations and cultural treasures. It served as a historical milestone, commemorating both Columbus' discovery and marking significant advancements made since then. In this mesmerizing portrait, we witness the grace and allure of an Odalisque - a female slave or concubine - within her opulent surroundings known as seraglio. The intricate details captured in this photograph transport us to another time, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of how exhibitions like these have shaped our understanding of history while providing moments for celebration and reflection. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a window into one of history's most iconic events –the Chicago World's Fair– forever immortalized through artistry and photography.
