The print is blank on the reverse side. Shipped very loosely rolled to safeguard print and prohibit creasing. Condition: Print is in excellent condition aside from some corner wear well outside the Indian tint border framing area. Publisher's Statement: "The White City Artfolio is the most elaborate, handsome and complete work reproducing the wonders of the great Columbian Exposition that has as yet been produced, and we can safely say that it is the best that ever will be published for the reason that the photographs were made by Mr. W.H. Jackson who has no equal in the field of scenic photography...Each plate (measuring 14 x 17 inches) will be ornamented by a delicate India tint border and will not be bound, but placed unmutilated in the folio where it can remain, or it can be framed as an appropriate and artistic mural decoration....The Artfolio will be kept by all who possess it as the most noble reproduction of the magnificence of The White City that exists, and will become the one standard souvenir of that glory which has departed forever." About the Columbian Exposition: The World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair and Chicago Columbian Exposition, was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. The Exposition was an influential social and cultural event and had a profound effect on architecture, sanitation, the arts, Chicago's self-image, and American industrial optimism. The exposition covered 690 acres, featuring nearly 200 new (but deliberately temporary) buildings of predominantly neoclassical architecture, canals and lagoons, and people and cultures from 46 countries. More than 27 million people attended the exposition during its six-month run.
