Excerpt from The Columbian Exposition Album: Containing Views of the Grounds, Main and State Buildings, Statuary, Architectural Details, Interiors, Midway Plaisance Scenes, and Other Interesting Objects Which Had Place at the World's Columbian Exposition; Chicago, 1893 His volume is published with two objects in view: First, to provide a fitting memento of the World's Fair for those who made themselves familiar with'its wonders and desire to keep its memories green; secondly, to supply the sixty odd million people in the United States, who have not seen the Fair, with a series of pictures that will convey, to the fullest extent made possible by art, a true and vivid idea of the sublimity of the great Exposition, and, as far as can be, minimize the loss they sustained through absence. To accomplish this two-fold design the illustrations were so selected that they collectively cover the entire ground embraced by the Exposition, and to each a full explanatory and critical note is appended. Comprehensive views, showing the grouping of the buildings and statuary, give a general idea of the plan of the grounds and the magnitude of the White City. Each building is also separately treated in a manner that renders obvious the character and scope of its design, while the most richly decorated parts are made subjects of special illustrations, in which the architectural details are brought out in strong relief. Other pictures depict the statuary that beautifies the grounds, the interiors of the principal buildings, with the exhibits they contain, scenes in the Midway Plaisance, and many other subjects of interest.
