EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event that marked the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The fair was a celebration of history, culture, and progress, attracting exhibitors from around the world. In this particular image, we are transported to Egypt as we witness three mesmerizing dancing girls gracefully performing for an enthralled audience. Their elegant movements and traditional attire evoke a sense of mystery and allure. The photographer, an American artist from the 19th century whose identity remains unknown, captures their beauty with great skill. The print is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "The Magic City" a portfolio showcasing original photographic views of the Great World's Fair edited by J. W. Buel in 1894. This historical document offers us a glimpse into one aspect of this grand exhibition that captivated visitors over a century ago. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance within the context of world exhibitions and cultural exchange during that era. It serves as a reminder that even after all these years have passed since the Chicago World's Fair took place, its impact on history continues to resonate today.
