1893 CHICAGO WORLD’S FAIR COLUMBIAN
EXPOSITION ~~~~~~~~ A truly unique
and fascinating collection of 213 rare, out-of-print books compiled together
for the first time on DVD data disc covering all aspects of Chicago World’s Fair, 1893. ‘The Fair That Changed
America’, or the Columbian Exposition, as it was also known, was held to
celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in
the New World in 1492. The fair was a highly influential social and cultural
event and had a profound, lasting effect on architecture, sanitation, the arts,
Chicago’s
self-image and American industrial optimism. The exposition
covered 690 acres, featuring almost 200 new buildings of predominantly
neoclassical architecture, canals, lagoons, and people and cultures from 46
countries. More than 27 million people attended the World’s Fair during the six
months it was open. Its scal and grandeur far exceeded the other world’s fairs
and it became a symbol of the emerging American exceptionalism, much in the
same way that the Great Exhibition became a symbol of Victorian Britain. . Some of the books
contained within this collection are extremely hard-to-find and will provide a
valuable library of reference material. Overall, an absolute must for anyone
with an interest in the 1893 Chicago
World’s Fair and all that it encompassed. The full list of titles included
speaks for itself…. This superb
compilation of 213 vintage books provides literally 1,000’s of pages of great
content and fabulous photos / illustrations for the reader. All of the books
have been scanned in high quality and preserved forever in pdf format - easy to
read on your laptop or computer, or transfer to tablet, smartphone, kindle or
e-reader. You can also print entire books or select pages. This is without
doubt the most extensive collection of its kind - compiled over time by
rare-book-collections, and only available here! The Full List
of Titles Included is as Follows: 1492-1892.
