EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating moment in history - the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893. The image showcases the impressive buildings that represented the French Colonies during this grand exhibition. Among these structures, one stands out - an exquisite Spice Exhibit. The photograph, taken by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, transports us back to a time when world exhibitions were at their peak. This particular exhibit was featured in "The Magic City" a renowned portfolio of original photographic views of the great Worlds Fair edited by J. W. Buel. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but imagine ourselves strolling through the fairgrounds, surrounded by magnificent architecture and immersed in cultural displays from around the globe. The French Colonies' representation is particularly intriguing as it offers a glimpse into their rich heritage and connection to exotic spices. This print serves as a reminder of how such events brought people together to celebrate history and progress. It commemorates not only the anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492 but also highlights significant moments in our collective past. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable piece now finds its way into our lives through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its presence invites us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance while igniting our curiosity about past worlds fairs and their impact on society.
