EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of 18 stereograph views from the 1884/1885 New Orleans Centennial International Exhibition. Taken by Edward Livingston Wilson, a renowned photographer of the 19th century, these albumen silver prints offer a fascinating glimpse into America's rich heritage. The exhibition itself was a grand celebration of American culture and industry, attracting visitors from all corners of the country. In this collection, Wilson expertly captures various aspects of the event, including portraits of indigenous people in their traditional attire and teepees or wigwams that served as their dwellings during the exhibition. These images provide an invaluable historical record not only of Native Americans but also depict scenes featuring men and women from different walks of life. The photographs highlight both local individuals and those who traveled to attend this prestigious world fair. Wilson's attention to detail is evident in each portrait, showcasing his skill in capturing human expression with remarkable clarity. These images serve as a testament to his talent as well as providing insight into the diverse cultures present at the exhibition. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, these rare prints allow us to travel back in time to experience firsthand one of America's most significant events. They stand as reminders not only of our shared history but also celebrate the beauty and diversity that make up our nation's fabric.
