Although there are many publications
on the Chicago Exposition, there are
none which have been so broadly planned
aud so conscientiously and thoroughly
carried out as this. Resides the full his
tory and description of the Exposition
as a whole, and in its several national
parts, every art and indiistrv wiil be
presented. In at tempting so important j
aud gigantic a work as this as early as!
last year The Bancroft Company estab- j
lisle d themselves in the Auditorium
Building, Chicago, for the express pur- 1
pose of producing in print and pictures,
the best work on the great oluinbian
Exposition. They sent East and to
Europe for the best artists, and set up
an entire plant for drawing, photograph
ing and engraving. I'.eiag in the field
long before the Exposition opened, tiiey
prepared in every way to paint this won
derful panorama true to life. In many
respects The Jh-h. "'. has no com
petitor, and e.iii have none.
To enter into details regarding its plan
is obviously impossible. Not only have
the buildings and the exhibits of the
Exposition departments their special
curious and educational attractions, but
the-commonwealths of the I'nited States
and the foreign countries, pres. nt minia
ture worlds in themselves. All are re
produced true to life. There are also
scores oi ui'.ciassuied lent tires, such as
t hose grouped and massed along Mid ay
Plaisanee. Then again, fire presented
the intellectual and religious traits of all
nations, such as centre around the
World's Congress Auxiliary. To clearly
place this vast panorama before the
public, is ii work worthy of the highest
ambition : but the Bancroft Company is
accustomed to great, enterprises and to
carry them to u successful issue.
