Item description

Antique single full-page halftone heavyweight print depicting the "Administration Building from Agricultural Building" from the original artfolio publication "The White City" by the White City Art Company published in 1894 portraying scenes from the "Columbian Exposition" World's Fair in Chicago. The full page is approximately 14 x 17 inches. The recommended framing area, which measures from the edges of the India tint border, is approximately 12.5 x 15.5. The print is blank on the reverse side. Shipped very loosely rolled to safeguard print and prohibit creasing. Condition: Print has substantial edge and corner wear, and some foxing, but all outside the India 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.
