[Transcribers notes: A few images have been repaired where damage was
obvious, such as specks on the original plate or voids in the printing
process. A gamma correction of 0.8 has been applied to compensate for
aging of the ink.
The index has been moved from the back of the book to the front and
linked to the named pages.
The images shown are compressed to 600X400 to load quickly and fit on
any computer screen. Click on the 1200 below the picture to see the
1200X800 image. Click on 4800 or the image itself to see the original
4800X3200 image and marvel at the detail of these 1893 photographs.
Signs and flags are easily read. The only technical flaw is the long
exposure to produce the crisp detail and depth of field. Occasionally
the moving leg of a pedestrian is blurred. Find the man mowing the grass
in plate 63. Click "Back" on your browser to return to this list.
To see the full detail of the 4800X3200 image in your browser, turn off
"Resize large images to fit" or "Enable automatic image resizing".
Files names XXX.jpg are the original 600 DPI, XXX_25.jpg are 25% of the
original (150 DPI), and XXX_12 are 12% (75 DPI).
Chapter V, "The World's Columbian Exposition" from Volume V of "History
of the United States" by E. Benjamin Andrews (1905) is included to
provide a contemporary description of the Exposition. ]
