EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant scenes of the Midway Plaisance at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The image, taken by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, showcases a momentous event in history that celebrated both Columbus' arrival to the New World in 1492 and marked the anniversary of this significant milestone. The Midway Plaisance was a central attraction at the fair, filled with exhibitions and displays from around the world.
