EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893. Titled "A Procession of the Nations" this image showcases the grandeur and diversity that characterized this iconic exhibition. In celebration of Christopher Columbus's arrival to the New World in 1492, this fair marked the 400th anniversary of his historic voyage. The procession depicted here symbolizes the unity and global significance of this milestone, with representatives from various nations parading through Chicago. The photographer, an American artist from the 19th century whose name remains unknown, beautifully captured this historical moment. This particular print is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration in "The Magic City" a portfolio showcasing original photographic views of the Great Worlds Fair edited by J. W. Buel. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder not only of our shared history but also of how exhibitions like these have shaped our world. It commemorates not only an anniversary but also a birthday party for progress, innovation, and cultural exchange. This image transports us back to a time when Chicago became synonymous with groundbreaking exhibitions and international collaboration. It invites us to reflect on our past while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries in future world exhibitions.
