EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event in history. The image features a group of enchanting Samoan girls, their traditional attire reflecting the rich cultural heritage they bring to this grand exhibition. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where the world celebrated Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The fair itself was a tribute to this significant milestone, showcasing technological advancements and cultural diversity from around the globe. The Samoan girls stand as ambassadors of their culture amidst a sea of exhibitors from various nations. Their presence adds an air of mystique and intrigue to this historic gathering. It is through images like these that we can appreciate how exhibitions such as these served not only as platforms for innovation but also as opportunities for cultures to connect and share their stories. This photograph holds particular significance today as it marks both an anniversary and a birthday party for our collective past. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about dates or events but about people who lived them - people like these Samoan girls who left an indelible mark on one of the most remarkable world fairs ever held. Let us cherish this glimpse into our shared past, celebrating moments that shaped our present while inspiring future generations with tales from long ago.
