The following books deal exclusively with The 1893 Fair held in Chicago, U.S.A. It was originally planned to be in 1892 to commemorate the 400th year anniversary of Columbus' voyage to what would become The Americas. It was not able to be planned, built, and operating in time, so it was delayed for a year.

PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE WORLD'S FAIR (1893)
" A Guide to the Worlds's Fair and Chicago"
Fair Guide Book. Over 300 books and publications were printed for
this fair many of which were labelled "Official Guides". While
not appearing to be the type of book one buys at the entrance gate
to get themselves around the fair, it none the less gives
detailed descriptions of the pavilions and events. The host city of
Chicago has its sites profiled as well. *(Our copy is the hard-cover
edition 15cm X 23cm standard book size, 493 pages long! There are
over 150 full-page photos of Chicago and the fair, with each
description and photo listed in the table of contents, although
many of the page numbers are wrong. No index.)
PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE WORLD'S FAIR (Continued)
* (This fair was originally to be held in 1892 to celebrate the
"discovery" of The Americas by Columbus but they could not get it
together in time, so it was delayed a year. The fair grounds and
some of the pavilions now partly make up The University of Chicago.

REVISITING THE WHITE CITY (1993)
"American Art at the 1893 World's Fair"
By Carolyn Kinder Carr (Editor) and George Gurney. The National Museum
of American Art and the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian
institution spent five years researching the paintings and sculpture
shown at the exposition and have jointly produced this comprehensive,
commemorative volume. A color plate section highlights 100 works of
art featured in the exhibition. Historian Robert Rydell discusses the
historical and cultural context of the fair, and Carolyn Kinder Carr
adds to an understanding of the regional and gender prejudices that
pervaded the American art arena at the time. An extensive catalogue
section updates the complete 1893 checklist, providing much new
information on the 521 artists and locations of the objects, and
offering descriptions and illustrations of well over three-fourths of
the 1,184 works originally displayed. With over 900 illustrations of
the art and the fair itself, this book is an invaluable resource for
those interested in late nineteenth-century art and culture. *(Not
