Annotated Bibliography: World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago 1893 ReviewI happen to like World's Fairs--they are short-lived, sometimes exaggerated snapshots of a country's self-image at a particular moment in history. How America viewed herself in 1893 was beautifully summarized in the "White City" erected in Chicago for the World's Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) for the six months of May through October, 1893. The authors are a retired couple living in Albuquerque and it's obvious each has an aficionado's love of their subject. The 400th (all right, 401st) anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the New World produced an outpouring of guidebooks, scholarly monographs, music, and just plain kitsch souvenirs that perhaps wasn't equalled until the 1939 New York World's Fair, and they are carefully recorded in this book in summary paragraphs, occasionally accompanied by a black-and-white illustration, together with an estimate of each item's (1992) value when known. A must for serious collectors of late 19th-century Americana, as well as just plain "buffs" like myself. In 1999, the authors published a Supplement of comparable size (just over 400 pages), which includes a Master Index covering both volumes.Annotated Bibliography: World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago 1893 Overview
