EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893. Titled "A Model School for the Education of Head and Hands" this image showcases an innovative educational institution that was showcased during the fair. The photographer, an anonymous American artist from the 19th century, beautifully portrays this model school which aimed to revolutionize education. The World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the World's Fair, held in Chicago marked the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. This event became a platform for showcasing advancements across various fields including education. The model school depicted here symbolizes progress and enlightenment. Displayed within a private collection, this photograph is believed to have been featured in "The Magic City" a comprehensive portfolio edited by J. W. Buel documenting views of the grand Worlds Fair. Its inclusion highlights its significance as one of many remarkable exhibits at this historical event. As we observe this image today, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of education and innovation since that time. It commemorates not only an anniversary but also celebrates human achievement and progress throughout history.
