EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event that celebrated the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World in 1492. In this particular image, we are introduced to a Bedouin Woman from Syria, her presence adding an exotic touch to the diverse array of exhibitors at the fair. The woman's traditional attire and enigmatic expression invite us to contemplate her story and cultural background. Captured by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, this print has become part of a private collection, preserving a precious piece of history. Originally featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a comprehensive portfolio showcasing original photographic views of the Great World's Fair edited by J. W. Buel in 1894, this image continues to captivate viewers over a century later. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the historical significance of events like world exhibitions but also their ability to bring people together from all corners of the globe. This anniversary celebration serves as both a commemoration and an opportunity for reflection on how far our society has come since that monumental year in Chicago. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us access to these remarkable glimpses into our past, reminding us once again why art is such a powerful tool for preserving history and sparking curiosity about different cultures around the world.
