History of the World?s Fair

Major Ben C. Truman

Edité par Mammoth Publishing Company, Chicago, 1893

First Edition. 610 pp. 4to.Original pictorial gray cloth, decoratively stamped in black, purple, and gilt to upper board and spine. Binding shows general soiling, with fraying at spine ends and corners, minor loss at footcap, scattered toning to cloth, and a noticeable rectangular shadow to the rear board. Internally sound, with the text block firm and pages evenly toned; a few leaves show light foxing, but the volume remains complete and serviceable. A substantial contemporary account of the 1893 World?s Columbian Exposition, documenting the planning, architecture, exhibits, and cultural ambitions of Chicago?s great fair at the height of America?s Gilded Age. Richly illustrated and produced for a broad nineteenth-century readership, the work retains enduring interest for collectors of world?s fair material, Chicago history, exposition literature, and American visual culture. .
