EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event in history that celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World. The image showcases the Old Convent of La Rabida, an iconic structure that played a significant role during Columbus' journey. The convent stands tall and majestic amidst a bustling fairground, its ancient walls steeped in history. This photograph is part of "The Magic City" a remarkable portfolio edited by J. W. Buel, which beautifully captures original photographic views of this grand exhibition. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when excitement filled the air as people from all corners of the globe gathered to witness technological marvels and cultural wonders. Exhibitors proudly showcased their innovations while visitors marveled at the world's latest achievements. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece, reminding us of our collective past and celebrating human progress. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since that monumental year in Chicago's history. Whether displayed at home or exhibited in galleries worldwide, this piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to commemorate not only the Chicago World's Fair but also our shared heritage and endless possibilities for future exploration.
