The book of the fair; an historical and descriptive presentation of the world's science, art, and industry, as viewed through the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893
Hubert Howe Bancroft's 1893 illustrated survey of the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, published by the Bancroft Company in Chicago, San Francisco, presents the fair's science, art and industry to a general American readership. The engravings show machinery halls, an ornate organ case and interiors, and a decorated float-like display of grasses, hops and tobacco, offering a designer period industrial and exhibition-hall imagery with dense, ornamental detail.
