Summary "Official Views Of The World's Columbian Exposition" by Arnold and Higinbotham is a photographic documentation created in the context of the late 19th century, specifically during the time surrounding the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This type of book serves as a historical account and visual record, illustrating the grandeur and architectural achievements of the exposition that celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. The book likely explores the various international exhibits, grand structures, and cultural representations displayed at the fair. The content is primarily composed of photographic plates showcasing the key features and attractions of the exposition, such as the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, the Ferris Wheel, and themed villages like the Japanese and Arabian displays. The authors also include descriptions of the architectural styles, the preparation and execution of the event, and its significance within American history. While the exposition aimed to exemplify American industry and culture, it also faced challenges such as financial setbacks and the eventual destruction of many structures shortly after the event. Overall, this book serves as both a nostalgic snapshot of a pivotal moment in American history and a detailed look at the artistic and engineering feats of the period.
