EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event that marked the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The image captures a group of South Sea Islanders, their exotic presence adding an air of mystique to this historical gathering. The photograph was taken by an American photographer from the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a remarkable portfolio showcasing original photographic views of the Great World's Fair edited by J. W. Buel and published in 1894. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when world exhibitions were grand spectacles celebrating human achievement and progress. The Chicago World's Fair was no exception, attracting exhibitors from all corners of the globe who came together to showcase their cultures, inventions, and ideas. In this particular scene, these South Sea Islanders stand proudly among other groups representing different parts of the world. Their presence serves as a reminder that diversity has always been at the heart of such events - bringing people together under one roof to celebrate our shared history while embracing our unique cultural identities. This print not only captures a significant moment in history but also invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then. It reminds us that even amidst great change and progress, it is crucial to honor our past and appreciate the contributions made by individuals from every corner
