EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a captivating moment from the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Titled "Donkey Boys in the Cairo Street" this image transports us back to a time of grand exhibitions and historical significance. The photograph, taken by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, showcases two young boys with their donkeys on Cairo Street. The Cairo Street was part of the larger exhibition known as The Magic City, which featured original photographic views of the Great World's Fair. This particular image was used as an illustration for J. W. Buel's book, also titled The Magic City, published in 1894. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich history surrounding this event. The Chicago World's Fair marked both Columbus' arrival to the New World in 1492 and celebrated its own anniversary during its run. It brought together exhibitors from all over the world to showcase their cultures and advancements. This print serves as a reminder of how these exhibitions shaped our understanding of history and culture at that time. It invites us to reflect on moments like these that have left lasting imprints on our collective memory.
