EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketch in the Midway Plaisance, 1893" takes us back to the enchanting atmosphere of the Chicago World's Fair. Created by British artist Philip William May, this pen and ink drawing captures a bustling scene filled with people from all walks of life. The image showcases a crowded promenade in the Midway Plaisance, a popular area within the fairgrounds. Men, women, and children can be seen strolling along amidst an array of charming half-timbered buildings that exude old-world charm. The intricate details of May's sketch bring to life the architectural beauty and heritage art present at this exposition. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that May was not only an accomplished artist but also a keen observer. His caricature-like figures add depth and personality to each individual portrayed in his work. This particular piece highlights both English and American influences as visitors from various countries come together to enjoy this cultural extravaganza. Through its simplicity yet richness in detail, "Sketch in the Midway Plaisance" transports us back to a time when world fairs were grand spectacles that united nations through art and innovation.
