EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, offering a unique perspective on MacMonnies Fountain. The rear view of this magnificent fountain is beautifully captured by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century. The image belongs to a private collection and was originally featured in "The Magic City" a remarkable portfolio of original photographic views of the Great World's Fair edited by J. W. Buel in 1894. This historical publication aimed to commemorate the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to that significant moment in history when Chicago hosted one of the most iconic world exhibitions ever seen - The Columbian Exposition. This grand event showcased groundbreaking innovations, cultural exchanges, and artistic marvels from all corners of the globe. MacMonnies Fountain stands tall as one such marvel exhibited during this extraordinary fair. Its intricate design and striking presence symbolize not only its historical significance but also mark a celebration - perhaps even a birthday party for progress itself. Through this image, we can appreciate both the beauty and importance of these exhibitions that shaped our understanding of history and culture. It serves as a reminder that even after more than a century has passed since its creation, art continues to connect us with our past while inspiring future generations.
