EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The image showcases a section of Italian paintings, beautifully captured by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century. Displayed in a private collection, this photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a remarkable portfolio of original photographic views of the Great World's Fair edited by J. W. Buel and published in 1894. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the significance of this event - celebrating both Columbus' arrival to the New World in 1492 and marking its 400th anniversary. The fair itself was a momentous occasion that attracted exhibitors from around the globe, making it one of the most memorable world exhibitions ever held. In this particular section dedicated to Italian paintings, visitors were treated to masterpieces that showcased Italy's rich artistic heritage. It is fascinating to imagine attendees marveling at these works while immersing themselves in history and culture. This print serves as a timeless reminder not only of this extraordinary birthday party for Columbus but also as a testament to human achievement and progress throughout history. Its presence allows us to appreciate how art can transcend time and continue inspiring generations long after its creation.
