Hailed by many as the greatest world's fair of all times Chicago's 1893 World Columbian Exposition took place a little more than twenty years after the Great Chicago Fire. It was a mixture of modern science and native peoples. A true workd's fair filled with exhibits that appealed to our noble pursuits and low exhibitions that stoke our base natures.

This slideshow gives us a look at some of the majestic exhibitions that were presented at this singular event. Most of the photos available were centered on the south end where the larger buildings were congregated. Once we get on top of the Liberal Arts Building we look south th en move from east to west then turn north before circling back.

"The Devil In The White City" by Eric Larsen is a great book and gives the history behind the Columbian Exposition of 1893.

We also have started a collection of post cards available from the fair at our Zazzle store.
