Digital Exhibits

A large color image of a birds-eye view of the World's Colombian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair, that was hosted in Chicago in 1893. At the bottom of the image there is a key that lists all of the different buildings visible in the photo and on the Exposition fair grounds.

All of the different buildings are visible but they are not labeled in the image, but with a list at the bottom of the image. The picture shows the entire view of the Fair with the Ferris Wheel shown in the background. The waterfront is also visible with piers and boats in the water.
