EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1893, showcases the Transportation exhibit building at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. The image features a picturesque canal scene in the foreground, where a quaint canal boat gently glides along the water, accompanied by a group of playful ducks. The Transportation building, an architectural marvel of the 19th century, stands proudly in the background, adorned with American flags and banners. This iconic image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the country's rich heritage and the spirit of innovation that defined the United States during this era. The World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair, was a significant tourist attraction that showcased the latest advancements in transportation, including water transport, and drew visitors from around the world. This photograph, now part of the collection at the Library of Congress, remains a testament to the enduring allure of American history and the power of photography to transport us back in time.
