EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event in history. In this image, we are transported to the enchanting Chinese Theatre and Joss House, beautifully captured by an American photographer from the 19th century. The Chinese Theatre and Joss House were among the many fascinating attractions at the fair, which celebrated both Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492 and marked its 400th anniversary. This photograph is an illustration for "The Magic City" a remarkable portfolio of original photographic views edited by J. W. Buel. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into another era. The intricate architecture of the Chinese Theatre stands tall against a backdrop of excitement and celebration. It serves as a reminder of cultural diversity showcased during this world exhibition. This print not only commemorates an important historical event but also invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then. It reminds us that exhibitions like these played a significant role in shaping our understanding of different cultures and fostering global connections. Let this image transport you back to that extraordinary time when Chicago hosted one of the most iconic world fairs ever held – an anniversary worth celebrating even today.
