EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Making the Angels" takes us back to the enchanting celebrations of the late 19th century. Captured by an American photographer during the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, this image is a true testament to the artistry of early photography. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a group of individuals engaged in an extraordinary show. With outstretched arms and joyous expressions on their faces, they are making angels in what appears to be a cloud-like substance. The ethereal nature of their movements evokes a sense of wonder and awe. The World's Columbian Exposition was a grand event that showcased technological advancements, cultural exhibits, and artistic marvels from around the world. This photograph captures one such moment where visitors were immersed in creating celestial beings amidst this dreamlike city. The attention to detail and composition displayed by the anonymous photographer is remarkable. Each figure is perfectly positioned within the frame, highlighting their enthusiasm for participating in this angelic spectacle. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its dramatic effect. As we gaze upon this timeless print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era when photography was still evolving as an art form. It serves as a reminder of how even simple moments can become extraordinary through skilled observation and masterful technique.
