EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, a momentous event that celebrated the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The image captures an intriguing scene - the work of sculpturing the big figures that were exhibited during this grand exhibition. The skilled hands of sculptors can be seen meticulously shaping these monumental figures, bringing them to life with their chisels and tools. It is a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship as they transform blocks of stone into awe-inspiring works of art. This photograph was taken by an American photographer from the 19th century whose name remains unknown but has left behind this remarkable documentation. It was later featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a portfolio showcasing original photographic views of the great World's Fair edited by J. W. Buel in 1894. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and hard work put into creating these magnificent sculptures. This image serves as a reminder not only of Chicago's rich history but also highlights how exhibitions like world fairs have played a significant role throughout history, providing platforms for artists and innovators to showcase their talents on a global scale. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this rare glimpse into one of humanity's most iconic events without commercial use or any mention thereof.
