The story of the Worlds Columbian Exposition is the tale of the United States of America at the close of the 19th century. Several cities competed to stage the Fair but Chicago won the prize. Over 65,000 exhibitors were present. These included the U.S. government, all the states, over 50 foreign nations, and thousands upon thousands of companies. Altogether some 250,000 objects were displayed. The locomotives, sewing machines, printing presses, typewriters, steam engines, and farm implements were brought to Chicago at considerable expense in the hope of gaining recognition and new markets. It is impossible in one book to describe more than a fraction of the activity that went into the assembly of this great Fair. I have tried to balance the facts and figures without losing the excitement and the significance of the Fair.
I used the Boston Public Library and Harvard University libraries, which have excellent collections of books relating to the Fair. I spent a very pleasant morning speaking with Russell Lewis at the Chicago History Museum and rummaging through the museums vast collection relating to the 1893 Fair. The Brookline Public Library has a five-volume set of Bancrofts Book of the Fair , with covers detached and leather binding turning to dust, but written with enthusiasm and detail.
I am deeply grateful to Kathleen Rowe Elman, Susan Glazer, my daughter Linda Reed, my daughter Adrienne who showed me how to organize the material, and my son David Rosenberg, who read and corrected chapters of the book. Martha Cochrane spent many hours rearranging my jumbled paragraphs and correcting errors. My wife Dawn has read through every page. Jim Kempert championed my first book with Arcadia Publishing and I am pleased to be working with him on this book as well. The responsibility for any remaining errors of spelling or fact must rest with me.
The Internet provided access to ephemera dealers across the country and I was able to collect excellent trade cards and drawings to illustrate this book. It is a miracle that these small and delicate cards have survived in such good condition for over 110 years. They were initially collected in 1893 by visitors to the Fair, placed into scrapbooks, and forgotten until rediscovered a century later. I was also able to acquire many of the books that were written about the Fair to learn about the excitement generated by the discoveries in electricity, moving pictures, the new typewriters, adding machines, and the latest safety bicycles.
My hopes for the book are that I was able to transmit some of the excitement and significance of this remarkable Fair, and that trade cardspopular from 1870 to 1900will find their rightful place in the story of the United States. I have excluded trade cards that made mock of others and have purposely selected those that portray an America that embraces and respects all of its peoples.
