"The World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. 1893" — Framed Engraving

A bird's eye view of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois by artist Charles Bloecker.

Offers a detailed and sweeping aerial perspective of the fairgrounds, which spanned over 600 acres along the shores of Lake Michigan.

The engraving shows the fair’s most famous structures, including the Ferris Wheel (a groundbreaking engineering marvel of the time), the White City (a collection of neoclassical buildings that became the fair’s architectural hallmark), and pavilions representing countries, states, and industries. 

Key landmarks such as the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, the Agriculture Building, the Transportation Building, and the Woman’s Building are prominently featured, alongside smaller details like pathways, waterways, and even crowds of visitors.

There are some small tears around the perimeter and, as shown in the photos, there are creases where this was folded. (I assume that it was published in a book.)
