Enigmas of The 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition | The White City, Chicago

Howdy ya’ll. Today we will look at the entirety of William Henry Jackson’s collection of “White City” photographs; images by the famed photographer taken during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago.

Deemed the “White City” due to the white temporary facades of the buildings, Jackson’s collection spans a bulk of the Columbia Exposition, many photographs which I have never seen displayed anywhere else before. These images may reveal new details, and lead to new ideas and understanding of the intricacies of The 1893 World’s Fair. We will also briefly discuss the life and travels of William Henry Jackson.

As we look through the photographs, I will dive briefly into some of the currently accepted facts of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, including the fact that nearly every building was constructed to be temporary. We will get into all this history, some highly detailed never before seen images, and much more! Enjoy, and help the channel grow by sharing the video - thank you for watching.
