EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event that celebrated the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. In this image, we are introduced to a Persian Dress-Parade Soldier, adorned in his magnificent traditional attire. The soldier stands tall and proud, embodying the rich history and culture of Persia. His elaborate costume is meticulously detailed with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, showcasing the craftsmanship of Persian artistry. As he marches through the fairgrounds, he becomes an emblematic figure representing not only his country but also the spirit of unity among nations at this grand exhibition. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a portfolio capturing original photographic views from the Great World's Fair. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic expression. As we gaze upon this remarkable image over a century later, it transports us back to that momentous occasion when people from all corners of the world gathered in Chicago to celebrate human achievement. The Chicago World's Fair remains etched in our collective memory as one of history's most iconic exhibitions – a true testament to human ingenuity and cultural diversity.
