EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the internationally renowned six-horse team of Wilson & Co. Meat Packers, a legendary squad that graced every performance of the Wings of the Century pageant during the Centuries of Progress World's Fair held in Chicago from 1933 to 1934. The fair, a significant cultural and historical event in American history, marked the country's progress and achievements during the 1930s, a decade marked by the Great Depression. The Wilson & Co. team, comprised of six majestic Clydesdales, was a sight to behold. Their powerful and elegant forms, harnessed together, embodied the spirit of strength and resilience that defined the era. The horses, with their distinctive feathered feet and muscular builds, were a testament to the breed's enduring popularity and versatility. The team's appearance at the fair was a source of pride for the people of Chicago and the United States, as they showcased the country's rich agricultural heritage and its commitment to innovation and progress. The Wilson & Co. team's performances were a highlight of the fair, drawing large crowds and leaving a lasting impression on all who attended. This photograph, taken circa 1933, is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when horses were an integral part of daily life and a source of inspiration and wonder. It serves as a reminder of the past, a testament to the power and beauty of these magnificent animals, and a celebration of the history and traditions that continue to shape our world.
