Authentic portfolio of the World's Columbian Exposition :
A portfolio of chromolithographed views of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, published in Chicago by Orcutt for a general audience of visitors and collectors. The plate shows a grand neoclassical exposition building with a central triumphal arch, flanking towers, and rows of flags under a dusky sky, with ivy and a stone terrace in the foreground; a designer might take its soft, muted palette and formal architectural symmetry as a model for civic monument imagery.
