The World's Columbian Exposition
Author: David J. Bertuca
Publisher: Greenwood
ISBN: 0313266441
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In 1893, the World's Columbian Exposition had a profound impact on urban planning and the Beaux-Arts period of American architecture. The fair introduced the Ferris Wheel, Cracker Jacks, and fiberglass. Yet today, except for one building and a grassy park, all that remains is the legacy of printed material dispersed throughout the country. This reference guide, intended for historians, librarians, and collectors, provides access to that legacy. The introduction summarizes the Exposition's influence. The bibliography, arranged to allow researchers to browse topics broadly, describes over 6,000 books, journal articles, and other materials. A directory of special collections of fair-related materials is also included. Newspaper and magazine articles, books, dissertations, drawings, photographs, maps, letters, documents, and collections of memorabilia—these provide the enduring heritage of the fair. This guide provides information on all aspects of that heritage. In addition to the bibilography itself, an extensive introduction discusses the influence the fair has had on America. Illustrations provide a visual portrayal of the fair. A directory of special collections of fair-related materials provides an inventory of each collection, along with addresses and telephone numbers. This book is the only comprehensive reference guide to the World's Columbian Exposition.

Chicago's 1893 World's Fair
Author: Joseph M. Di Cola
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 0738594415
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
What came to be known as the World s Columbian Exposition was planned to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus s 1492 landfall in the New World. Chicago beat out New York City, St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, DC, in its bid as host a coup for the Windy City. The site finally selected for the fair was Jackson Park, originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, a marshy area covered with dense, wild vegetation. Daniel H. Burnham and John W. Root were selected as chief architects, creating the famous White City. The fair featured several different thematic areas: the Great Buildings, Foreign Buildings, State Buildings, and the Midway Plaisance, a nearly mile-long area that featured exotic exhibits. The exposition also showcased the world s first Ferris Wheel and introduced fairgoers to new sensations like Cracker Jack, Pabst Beer, and ragtime music. The World s Columbian Exposition, covering 633 acres, opened on May 1, 1893. Admission prices were 50cents for adults, 25cents for children under 12 years of age, and free for children under six. Unfortunately, by 1896, most of the fair s buildings had been removed or destroyed, but this collection takes readers on a tour of the grounds as they looked in 1893."

Reports on the New York Exhibition of 1853, and the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893; 1854-94

ISBN: 9780716515425
Category : British
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
EXHIBITIONS The New York Exhibition of 1853 was the first international exhibition to be held in the United States. It had been inspired by the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851 and, though on a much smaller scale than that event, the New York fair attracted over 4,800 exhibitors from the United States and 23 foreign countries. Volume 42 contains the reports of the British Commissioners of the New York exhibition. The reports themselves are technically detailed, in some cases with considerable illustration, and are not simply confined to the exhibition itself. In 1893, Chicago was the site of the World's Columbian Exposition, an event also represented in this collection of papers, though not with the thoroughness devoted to the New York fair. Three short papers on the Columbian Exposition are included. -- Publisher's catalogue.
