EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. The image captures a breathtaking view from the roof of the Manufactures Building, showcasing the grandeur and scale of this iconic event. The World's Columbian Exposition, as it was officially known, marked the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. This historical milestone is beautifully depicted through this photograph, transporting us to a time when innovation and progress were celebrated on an unprecedented level. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the immense significance that this fair held for both Chicago and the world at large. It served as a platform for exhibitors from all corners of the globe to showcase their products and ideas, making it an unparalleled celebration of human achievement. This particular print was featured in "The Magic City" an extensive portfolio edited by J. W. Buel that documented original photographic views of this great world's fair. Its inclusion in such a prestigious publication further emphasizes its importance as a visual representation of history. Today, over a century later, we can still marvel at these remarkable images that capture not only architectural splendor but also moments frozen in time. This photograph serves as both a testament to our past accomplishments and an inspiration for future generations to continue pushing boundaries and creating their own magic cities.
