EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in time during the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893. The image showcases the enchanting Alaskan Village exhibit, which was part of the grand celebration commemorating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World. Displayed as an illustration for "The Magic City" a remarkable portfolio capturing original photographic views of this great world fair, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history. It takes us back to an era when exhibitions were extravagant spectacles that transported visitors to distant lands and cultures. The Alaskan Village at the Chicago Worlds Fair provided fairgoers with a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the rich heritage and traditions of Alaska's indigenous people. With its intricately designed structures, traditional artifacts, and captivating performances by native inhabitants, it offered an immersive cultural experience like no other. As we celebrate this anniversary and reflect on our past, let us appreciate how these exhibitions shaped our understanding of different societies and fostered cultural exchange. This photograph serves as a reminder that even over a century later, we can still marvel at these historical events that continue to captivate our imagination. Through this image captured by an American photographer from the 19th century, we are reminded of both our shared human history and our capacity for curiosity about worlds beyond our own.
