This uncommon atlas was published to commemorate the 1893 World's Fair and Columbian Exposition in Chicago, also known as Chicago World's Fair. The scale and grandeur of the fair had a profound effect on architecture, the arts, Chicago's self image and American industrial optimism. This atlas, with maps in 194 pages, 35.5x30.5, by the Chicago map-maker George Cram, published for Woods Brother. It includes a plan of the Exposition grounds plus a complete section on the World's Fair. There are color maps, city plans, diagrams, beautiful engravings showing the Expo's buildings, local architecture, points of interest and well known monuments in the Chicago area. Several pages of amusing advertisements are located near the front and back of the atlas. Hardbound in brown cloth with embossed gilt title on front.
