This area, developed by ayoung music promoter, Sol Bloom, concentrated on Midway Plaisance and introduced the term “midway” to American English to describe the area of a carnival or fairwhere sideshows are located.The original Ferris WheelIt included carnival rides, among them the original Ferris Wheel, built by George Ferris. This wheel was 264 feet (80 m) high and had 36cars, each of which could accommodate 60 people. The importance of the Columbian Exposition is highlighted by the use of “Rueda deChicago” (Chicago Wheel) in many Latin American countries such as Costa Rica and Chile in reference to the FerrisWheel.[citation needed]Eadweard Muybridge gave a series of lectures on the Science of Animal Locomotion in the Zoopraxographical Hall, built specially for that purpose on Midway Plaisance. He used hiszoopraxiscope to show his moving pictures to a paying public. The hall was the first commercial movie theater.[18]The “Street in Cairo” included the popular dancer known as Little Egypt.[19] She introduced America to the suggestive version of the belly dance known as the “hootchy-kootchy”, to a tune said to be improvised by Sol Bloom (and now more commonly associated with snake charmers).[20] Bloom did not copyright the song, putting it straight into the public domain.For the Sufjan Stevens song, see Illinois (album).The Statue of the Republic overlooks the World’s Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893Thomas Moran – Chicago World’s Fair – Brooklyn MuseumThe World’s Columbian Exposition (the official shortened name for the World’s Fair: Columbian Exposition,[1] also known as The Chicago World’s Fair) was a World’s Fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the New World in 1492. Chicago bested New York City; Washington, D.C.; and St. Louis for the honor of hosting the fair. The fair had a profound effect on architecture, the arts, Chicago’s self-image, and American industrial optimism. The Chicago Columbian Exposition was, in large part, designed by Daniel Burnhamand Frederick Law Olmsted. It was the prototype of what Burnham and his colleagues thought a city should be. It was designed to follow Beaux Arts principles of design, namely French neoclassical architecture principles based on symmetry, balance, and splendor.The exposition covered more than 600 acres (2.4 km2), featuring nearly 200 new (but purposely temporary) buildings of predominately neoclassical architecture, canals and lagoons, and people and cultures from around the world. More than 27 million people attended the exposition during its six-month run. Its scale and grandeur far exceeded the other world fairs, and it became a symbol of the emerging American Exceptionalism, much in the same way that the Great Exhibition became a symbol of the Victorian era United Kingdom.Dedication ceremonies for the fair were held on October 21, 1892, but the fairgrounds were not actually opened to the public until May 1, 1893. The fair continued until October 30, 1893. In addition to recognizing the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Europeans, the fair also served to show the world that Chicago had risen from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire. This had destroyed much of the city in 1871. On October 9, 1893, the day designated as Chicago Day, the fair set a record for outdoor event attendance, drawing 716,881 persons to the fair.Many prominent civic, professional, and commercial leaders from around the United States participated in the financing, coordination, and management of the Fair, including Chicago shoe tycoon Charles Schwab, Chicago railroad and manufacturing magnate John Whitfield Bunn, and Connecticut banking, insurance, and iron products magnate Milo Barnum Richardson, among many others.[2]The exposition was such a major event in Chicago that one of the stars on the municipal flag honors it.[3][4]Contents [hide] 1 Planning and organization2 Description2.1 White City2.1.1 Surviving structures2.2 The White City and The City Beautiful Movement3 Electricity at the fair4 Attractions5 Black musicians at the fair6 Other music at the fair7 Non musical attractions8 Notable firsts at the fair9 Later years10 Gallery11 See also12 Notes13 References14 Further reading15 External links[edit]Planning and organizationThe fair was planned in the early 1890s, the Gilded Age of rapid industrial growth, immigration, and class violence. World’s fairs, such as London’s 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition, had been successful in Europe as a way to bring together societies fragmented along class lines. However, the first American attempt at world’s fair, in 1876 in Philadelphia, lost money. Nonetheless, ideas about marking the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ landing started to take hold in the 1880s. Towards the end of the decade, civic leaders in St. Louis, New York City, Washington DC and Chicago expressed interest in hosting a fair, in order to generate profits, boost real estate values, and promote their cities. Congress was called on to decide the location. New York’s financiers J. P. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and William Waldorf Astor, among others, pledged $15 million to finance the fair if Congress awarded it to New York, while Chicagoans Charles T. Yerkes, Marshall Field, Philip Armour, Gustavus Swift, and Cyrus McCormick, offered to finance a Chicago fair. What finally persuaded Congress was Chicago banker Lyman Gage who raised several million additional dollars in a 24-hour period, over and above New York’s final offer.[5]The exposition corporation and national exposition commission settled on Jackson Park as the fair site. Daniel H. Burnham was selected as director of works, and George R. Davis as director-general. Burnham emphasized architecture and sculpture as central to the fair and assembled the period’s top talent to design the buildings and grounds including Frederick Law Olmsted for the grounds. The buildings were neoclassical, painted white, resulting in the name “White City” for the fair site.[5]Meanwhile Davis’s team organized the exhibits with the help of G. Brown Goode of the Smithsonian. The Midway was inspired by the 1889 Paris Universal Exposition which included ethnological “villages”. The Exposition’s offices set up shop in the upper floors of the Rand McNally Building on Adams Street, the world’s first all-steel-framed skyscraper.[6][edit]DescriptionPrint of an aerial view of the expositionJackson Park during the expositionAn exhibit hall interiorThe fair opened in May and ran through October 30, 1893. Forty-six nations participated in the fair (it was the first world’s fair to have national pavilions[7]), constructing exhibits and pavilions and naming national “delegates” (for example, Haiti selected Frederick Douglass to be its delegate).[8] The Exposition drew nearly 26 million visitors. It left a remembered vision that inspired the Emerald City of L. Frank Baum’s Land of Oz and Walt Disney’s theme parks. Disney’s father Elias was a construction worker on some of the buildings at the fair.[9]The exposition was located in Jackson Park and on the Midway Plaisance on 630 acres (2.5 km2) in the neighborhoods of South Shore, Jackson Park Highlands, Hyde Park and Woodlawn. Charles H. Wacker was the Director of the Fair. The layout of the fairgrounds was created by Frederick Law Olmsted, and the Beaux-Arts architecture of the buildings was under the direction of Daniel Burnham, Director of Works for the fair. Renowned local architect Henry Ives Cobb designed several buildings for the exposition. The Director of the American Academy in Rome, Francis David Millet, directed the painted mural decorations. Indeed, it was a coming-of-age for the arts and architecture of the “American Renaissance”, and it showcased the burgeoning neoclassical and Beaux-Arts styles.[edit]White CityMost of the buildings were based on classical architecture. The area at the Court of Honor was known as The White City. The buildings were made of a white stucco, which, in comparison to the tenements of Chicago, seemed illuminated. It was also called the White City because of the extensive use of street lights, which made the boulevards and buildings usable at night. It included such buildings as:The Administration Building, designed by Richard Morris HuntThe Agricultural Building, designed by Charles McKimThe Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, designed by George B. PostThe Mines and Mining Building, designed by Solon Spencer BemanThe Electricity Building, designed by Henry Van Brunt and Frank Maynard HoweThe Machinery Building, designed by Robert Swain Peabody of Peabody and StearnsThe Woman’s Building, designed by Sophia HaydenWhite CityLouis Sullivan’s polychrome proto-Modern Transportation Building was an outstanding exception to the prevailing style, as he tried to develop an organic American form. He believed that the classical style of the White City had set back modern American architecture by forty years.As detailed in Erik Larson’s popular history The Devil in the White City, extraordinary effort was required to accomplish the exposition, and much of it was unfinished on opening day. The famousFerris Wheel, which proved to be a major attendance draw and helped save the fair from bankruptcy, was not finished until June, because of waffling by the board of directors the previous year on whether to build it. Frequent debates and disagreements among the developers of the fair added many delays. The spurning of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show proved a serious financial mistake. Buffalo Bill set up his highly popular show next door to the fair and brought in a great deal of revenue that he did not have to share with the developers. Nonetheless, construction and operation of the fair proved to be a windfall for Chicago workers during the serious economic recession that was sweeping the country.[citation needed]Early in July, a Wellesley College English teacher named Katharine Lee Bates visited the fair. The White City later inspired the reference to “alabaster cities” in her poem “America the Beautiful”.[10]The exposition was extensively reported by Chicago publisher William D. Boyce’s reporters and artists.[11] There is a very detailed and vivid description of all facets of this fair by the Persian traveler Mirza Mohammad Ali Mo’in ol-Saltaneh written in Persian. He departed from Persiaon April 20, 1892, especially for the purpose of visiting the World’s Columbian Exposition.[12]White City on fireThe fair ended with the city in shock, as popular mayor Carter Harrison, Sr. was assassinated by Patrick Eugene Prendergast two days before the fair’s closing. Closing ceremonies were canceled in favor of a public memorial service. Jackson Park was returned to its status as a public park, in much better shape than its original swampy form. The lagoon was reshaped to give it a more natural appearance, except for the straight-line northern end where it still laps up against the steps on the south side of the Palace of Fine Arts/Museum of Science & Industry building. The Midway Plaisance, a park-like boulevard which extends west from Jackson Park, once formed the southern boundary of the University of Chicago, which was being built as the fair was closing. (The university has since developed south of the Midway.) The university’s football team, the Maroons, were the original “Monsters of the Midway”. The exposition is mentioned in the university’s alma mater: “The City White hath fled the earth,/But where the azure waters lie,/A nobler city hath its birth,/The City Gray that ne’er shall die.”[edit]Surviving structuresAlmost all of the fair’s structures were designed to be temporary; of the more than 200 buildings erected for the fair, the only two which still stand in place are the Palace of Fine Arts and the World’s Congress Auxiliary Building. From the time the fair closed until 1920, the Palace of Fine Arts housed the Field Columbian Museum (now the Field Museum of Natural History, since relocated); in 1933, the Palace building re-opened as the Museum of Science and Industry.[13] The second building, the World’s Congress Building, was one of the few buildings not built in Jackson Park, instead it was built downtown in Grant Park. The cost of construction of the World’s Congress Building was shared with the Art Institute of Chicago, which, as planned, moved into the building (the museum’s current home) after the close of the fair.Pinta, Santa María, Niña replicas from SpainThree other significant buildings survived the fair. The first is the Norway pavilion, a building preserved at a museum called Little Norway in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin. The second is the Maine State Building, designed by Charles Sumner Frost, which was purchased by the Ricker family of Poland Spring, Maine. They moved the building to their resort to serve as a library and art gallery. The Poland Spring Preservation Society now owns the building, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The third is the Dutch House, which was moved to Brookline, Massachusetts. The main altar at St. John Cantius in Chicago, as well as its matching two side altars, are reputed to be from the Columbian Exposition. The other buildings at the fair were intended to be temporary. Their facades were made not of stone, but of a mixture of plaster, cement and jute fiber called staff, which was painted white, giving the buildings their “gleam”. Architecture critics derided the structures as “decorated sheds”. The White City, however, so impressed everyone who saw it (at least before air pollution began to darken the façades) that plans were considered to refinish the exteriors in marble or some other material. In any case, these plans were abandoned in July 1894 when much of the fair grounds was destroyed in a fire. (The fire occurred at the height of the Pullman Strike.)[edit]The White City and The City Beautiful MovementThe White City is largely accredited for ushering in the City Beautiful movement and planting the seeds of modern city planning. The highly integrated design of the landscapes, promenades, and structures provided a vision of what is possible when planners, landscape architects, and architects work together on a comprehensive design scheme. The White City inspired cities to focus on the beautification of the components of the city in which municipal government had control; streets, municipal art, public buildings and public spaces. The designs of the City Beautiful Movement (closely tied with the municipal art movement) are identifiable by their classical architecture, plan symmetry, picturesque views, axial plans, as well as their magnificent scale. Where the municipal art movement focused on beautifying one feature in a City, the City Beautiful movement began to make improvements on the scale of the district. The White City of the World’s Colombian Exposition inspired the Merchant’s Club of Chicago to commission Daniel Burnham to create the Plan of Chicago in 1909, which became the first modern comprehensive city plan in America.[14][edit]Electricity at the fairThe International Exposition was held in a building which was devoted to electrical exhibits. General Electric Company (backed by Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan) had proposed to power the electric exhibits withdirect current originally at the cost of US$1.8 million. After this was initially rejected as exorbitant, General Electric re-bid their costs at $554,000. However, Westinghouse, armed with Nikola Tesla’s alternating current system, proposed to illuminate the Columbian Exposition in Chicago for $399,000, and Westinghouse won the bid.[15] It was a historical moment and the beginning of a revolution, as Nikola Tesla andGeorge Westinghouse introduced the public to alternating-current electrical power by illuminating the exposition. All the exhibits were from commercial enterprises. Thomas Edison, Brush, Western Electric, and Westinghouse had exhibits. The public observed firsthand the qualities and abilities of alternating current power.World’s Fair Tesla alternating currentpresentationTesla’s high-frequency high-voltage lighting produced more efficient light with quantitatively less heat. A two-phase induction motor was driven by current from the main generators to power the system. Edison tried to prevent the use of his light bulbs in Tesla’s works. General Electric banned the use of Edison’s lamps in Westinghouse’s plan in retaliation for losing the bid. Westinghouse’s company quickly designed a double-stopper lightbulb (sidestepping Edison’s patents) and was able to light the fair. The Westinghouse lightbulb was invented by Reginald Fessenden, later to be the first person to transmit voice by radio. Fessenden replaced Edison’s delicate platinum lead-in wires with an iron-nickel alloy, thus greatly reducing the cost and increasing the life of the lamp.[16]The Westinghouse Company displayed several polyphase systems. The exhibits included a switchboard, polyphase generators, step-up transformers, transmission line, step-down transformers, commercial size induction motors and synchronous motors, and rotary direct current converters (including an operational railway motor). The working scaled system allowed the public a view of a system of polyphase power which could be transmitted over long distances, and be utilized, including the supply of direct current. Meters and other auxiliary devices were also present.Tesla displayed his phosphorescent lighting, powered without wires by high-frequency fields, and employed a similar process, using high-voltage, high-frequency alternating current to shoot lightning from his fingertips.[citation needed] Tesla displayed the first practical phosphorescent lamps (a precursor to fluorescent lamps). Tesla’s lighting inventions exposed to high-frequency currents would bring the gases to incandescence.[citation needed]Also at the Fair, the Chicago Athletic Association Football team played one of the very first night football games against West Point (the earliest being on September 28, 1892 between Mansfield State Normal andWyoming Seminary). Chicago won the game 14-0. The game lasted only 40 minutes, compared to the normal 90 minutes.[17][edit]AttractionsThe World’s Columbian Exposition was the first world’s fair with an area for amusements that was strictly separated from the exhibition halls. This area, developed by a young music promoter, Sol Bloom, concentrated on Midway Plaisance and introduced the term “midway” to American English to describe the area of a carnival or fair where sideshows are located.The original Ferris WheelIt included carnival rides, among them the original Ferris Wheel, built by George Ferris. This wheel was 264 feet (80 m) high and had 36 cars, each of which could accommodate 60 people. The importance of the Columbian Exposition is highlighted by the use of “Rueda de Chicago” (Chicago Wheel) in many Latin American countries such as Costa Rica and Chile in reference to the Ferris Wheel.[citation needed]Eadweard Muybridge gave a series of lectures on the Science of Animal Locomotion in the Zoopraxographical Hall, built specially for that purpose on Midway Plaisance.

Although not an official part of the expo they are believed to have played gigs on the outskirts of the fair.[21] Scott Joplin’s performance at the exposition introduced ragtime to new audiences.[22] The exposition attracted attention to the Chicago ragtime scene, led by patriarchPlunk Henry and exemplified in performance at the exposition by Johnny Seymour.[23]W.C. Handy ~ It is often claimed that the twenty year old musician played with The Mahara Minstrels at the fair, but his autobiography states that he arrived a year early and went on to St. Louis and doesn’t mention attending the fair.[24]Henry Thomas (blues musician) ~ A singer and guitarist later known for playing an early version of the blues, “Ragtime” Thomas was an itinerant street busker who reportedly played the fair in an unofficial capacity.Sissieretta Jones ~ Known as The Black Patti and an already famous opera singer.[21]George W. Johnson ~ A popular minstrel singer and early recording artist, although it is not known if he actually performed in person, his recordings with the Edison Gramophone would certainly have been included as part of the Edison exhibit.Will Marion Cook ~ Composer and orchestra leader had prepared “Scenes from the Opera of Uncle Tom’s Cabin” for performance. The performance however was canceled. Cook is believed to have attended the fair on his own and may have performed informally solo.Classical violinist Joseph Douglass achieved wide recognition after his performance there and became the first African-American violinist to conduct a transcontinental tour and the first to tour as a concert violinist.[25][26]A paper on African-American spirituals and shouts by Abigail Christensen was read to attendees.[27]There were many other black artists at the fair ranging from minstrel and early ragtime groups to more formal classical ensembles to street buskers.[edit]Other music at the fairThe first Indonesian music performance in the United States was at the exposition.[28]A group of hula dancers led to increased awareness of Hawaiian music among Americans throughout the country.[29]Stoughton Musical Society, the oldest choral society in the United States, presented the first concerts of early American music at the exposition.The first Eisteddfod (a Welsh choral competition with a history spanning many centuries) held outside of Wales was held in Chicago at the exposition.[edit]Non musical attractionsAlthough denied a spot at the fair, Buffalo Bill Cody decided to come to Chicago anyway, setting up his Wild West show just outside the edge of the exposition. Historian Frederick Jackson Turner gave academic lectures reflecting on the end of the frontier which Buffalo Bill represented.The Electrotachyscope of Ottomar Anschütz was demonstrated, which used a Geissler Tube to project the illusion of moving images. Louis Comfort Tiffany made his reputation with a stunning chapel designed and built for the Exposition. This chapel has been carefully reconstructed and restored. It can be seen in at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art.Idaho BuildingArchitect Kirtland Cutter’s Idaho Building, a rustic log construction, was a popular favorite,[30] visited by an estimated 18 million people.[31] The building’s design and interior furnishings were a major precursor of theArts and Crafts movement.The John Bull locomotive was displayed. It was only 62 years old, having been built in 1831. It was the first locomotive acquisition by the Smithsonian Institution. The locomotive ran under its own power fromWashington, DC, to Chicago to participate, and returned to Washington under its own power again when the exposition closed. In 1981 it was the oldest surviving operable steam locomotive in the world when it ran under its own power again.John Bull on display at the exposition.An original frog switch and portion of the superstructure of the famous 1826 Granite Railway in Massachusetts could be viewed. This was the first commercial railroad in the United States to evolve into a common carrier without an intervening closure. The railway brought granite stones from a rock quarry in Quincy, Massachusetts, so that the Bunker Hill Monument could be erected in Boston. The frog switch is now on public view in East Milton Square, Massachusetts, on the original right-of-way of the Granite Railway.The Viking, a replica of the Gokstad shipNorway participated by sending the Viking, a replica of the Gokstad ship. It was built in Norway and sailed across the Atlantic by 12 men, led by Captain Magnus Andersen. In 1919 this ship was moved to Lincoln Park. It was relocated in 1996 to Good Templar Park in Geneva, Illinois, where it awaits renovation.[32][33]The 1893 Parliament of the World’s Religions, which ran from September 11 to September 27, marked the first formal gathering of representatives of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions from around the world.The work of noted feminist author Kate McPhelim Cleary was featured during the opening of the Nebraska Day ceremonies at the fair, which included a reading of her poem “Nebraska”.[34]Visitors to the Louisiana Pavilion were each given a seeding of a cypress tree. This resulted in the spread of cypress trees to areas where they were not native. Cypress trees from those seedings can be found in many areas of West Virginia, where they flourish in the climate.[35]The Great Wharf, Moving SidewalkAlong the banks of the lake, patrons on the way to the casino were taken on a moving walkway the first of its kind open to the public,[36] called The Great Wharf, Moving Sidewalk, it allowed people to walk along or ride in seats.[1]The German firm Krupp had a pavilion of artillery, which apparently had cost one million dollar to stage,[37] including a coastal gun of 42 cm in bore (16.54 inches) and a length of 33 calibres (45.93 feet, 14 meters). A breach loaded gun, it weighed 120.46 long tons (122.4 metric tons). According to the company’s marketing: “It carried a charge projectile weighing from 2,200 to 2,500 pounds which, when driven by 900 pounds of brown powder, was claimed to be able to penetrate at 2,200 yards a wrought iron plate three feet thick if placed at right angles.”[38] Nicknamed “The Thunderer”, the gun had an advertised range of 15 miles; on this occasion John Schofield declared Krupps’ guns “the greatest peacemakers in the world”.[37] This gun was later seen as a precursor of the company’s World War I Dicke Berta howitzers.[39][edit]Notable firsts at the fairThis section needs additional citations for verification.

Some argue that Charles Anderson Dana of the New York Sun coined the term related to the hype of the city’s promoters. Other evidence, however, suggests the term was used as early as 1881 in relation to either Chicago’s “windbag” politicians or to its weather.The poet and humorist Benjamin Franklin King, Jr. first performed at the exposition.The “clasp locker,” a clumsy slide fastener and forerunner to the zipper was demonstrated by Whitcomb L. Judson.To hasten the painting process during construction of the fair in 1892, Francis Davis Millet invents spray painting.Pabst Blue Ribbon[edit]Later years~ Christopher Columbus ~US Postage Issued at the Exposition of 1893.The exposition was one influence leading to the rise of the City Beautiful movement.[41] Results included grand buildings and fountains built around Olmstedian parks, shallow pools of water on axis to central buildings, larger park systems, broad boulevards and parkways and, after the turn of the century, zoning laws and planned suburbs. Examples of the City Beautiful movement’s works include the City of Chicago, the Columbia University campus, and the National Mall in Washington D.C.1893 Postmarkused at the ExpositionAfter the fair closed, J.C. Rogers, a banker from Wamego, Kansas, purchased several pieces of art that had hung in the rotunda of the U.S. Government Building. He also purchased architectural elements, artifacts and buildings from the fair. He shipped his purchases to Wamego. Many of the items, including the artwork, were used to decorate his theater, now known as the Columbian Theatre.Memorabilia saved by visitors can still be purchased. Numerous books, tokens, published photographs, and well-printed admission tickets can be found. While the higher value commemorative stamps are expensive, the lower ones are quite common. So too are the commemorative half dollars, many of which went into circulation.When the exposition ended the Ferris Wheel was moved to Chicago’s north side, next to an exclusive neighborhood. An unsuccessful Circuit Court action was filed against the owners of the wheel to have it moved. The wheel stayed there until it was moved to St. Louis for the 1904 World’s Fair.[11][edit]GalleryThe Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, seen from the southwest.
