The artistic guide to Chicago and the World's Columbian exposition
The Artistic Guide to Chicago and the World's Columbian Exposition is an 1893 guidebook by Charles Eugene Banks, published by the Columbian Art Co., for visitors to the Chicago world's fair. Its pictures are halftone photographic plates and wash drawings of civic buildings, a monument and fairground architecture, with a designer able to draw on their formal stone facades, tall towers and tree-lined vistas as period architectural reference.
