EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. The image showcases the grand Ethnological Gallery at the Smithsonian Institute, a significant attraction during this historical event. Stepping into this mesmerizing exhibit was like embarking on a journey through cultures and civilizations from around the world. The photograph captures the essence of diversity as it showcases artifacts, artworks, and displays representing different ethnic groups. The significance of this momentous occasion is further highlighted by its association with Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. As we celebrate an anniversary or perhaps even a birthday party, we are reminded of how history has shaped our present. This print serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration, capturing both the spirit of discovery and celebration that characterized exhibitions like these. It transports us back to an era when world fairs were not only platforms for showcasing technological advancements but also opportunities for cultural exchange. Through this image, we can almost hear the excited chatter of visitors marveling at each exhibit while immersing themselves in new knowledge about distant lands and their inhabitants. As we gaze upon this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate how such events have contributed to shaping our understanding of global history and fostering appreciation for diverse cultures worldwide.
