The Chicago world’s Fair of 1893 was billed as the great art, cultural and technology event of the 19th century. On display were the achievements of modern civilization. The building of the fair cost over 20 million dollars. In today’s money, nearly three quarters of a billion dollars. It was a supreme event which showed America’s progress. The buildings were classically inspired and included 65,000 exhibits, spanning nearly 700 acres. The fair drew 27 million visitors. The fair exhibition was built to celebrate the 400th year of Columbus’s voyage and America’s progress.
Thousands of paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints, and sculpture were exhibited at the fair from many countries. Eakins, Twachtman, Homer, and Tiffany where among the hundreds of artists displayed from the United States, which exhibited nearly 3,000 art pieces. Works by French Impressionists—including Degas, Manet, Pissarro, Sisley and Monet were on display along with hundreds of other works by French artists. Artists from multiple countries where exhibited at the Palace of Fine Arts.
Thaddeus Welch spent time in Chicago during the time of the fair. Two other similar large depictions of the fair, from different perspectives and vantage points, belong to the Oakland Museum of California.
