EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. In this image, we see two formidable figures standing side by side - a Turkish swordsman and a Persian swordsman. Both men are dressed in traditional attire, exuding an air of mystery and strength. The photograph was captured by an American photographer from the 19th century, whose name unfortunately remains unknown. It is now part of a private collection, cherished for its historical significance. This particular image served 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, it aimed to capture the grandeur and excitement surrounding this momentous event. The Chicago World's Fair marked the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. It was a celebration that brought together exhibitors from all over the globe to showcase their cultures, innovations, and achievements. As we gaze upon these two swordsmen frozen in time, we can't help but be transported back to that era - a time when history was being made on such grand scales. This photograph serves as both a reminder of our past and an invitation to explore further into the rich tapestry of human achievement showcased at exhibitions like these.
