Book Synopsis World of Fairs by : Robert W. Rydell
Download or read book World of Fairs written by Robert W. Rydell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the depths of the Great Depression, when America's future seemed bleak, nearly one hundred million people visited expositions celebrating the "century of progress." These fairs fired the national imagination and served as cultural icons on which Americans fixed their hopes for prosperity and power. World of Fairs continues Robert W. Rydell's unique cultural history—begun in his acclaimed All the World's a Fair—this time focusing on the interwar exhibitions. He shows how the ideas of a few—particularly artists, architects, and scientists—were broadcast to millions, proclaiming the arrival of modern America—a new empire of abundance build on old foundations of inequality. Rydell revisits several fairs, highlighting the 1926 Philadelphia Sesquicentennial, the 1931 Paris Colonial Exposition, the 1933-34 Chicago Century of Progress Exposition, the 1935-36 San Diego California Pacific Exposition, the 1936 Dallas Texas Centennial Exposition, the 1937 Cleveland Great Lakes and International Exposition, the 1939-40 San Francisco Golden Gate International Exposition, the 1939-40 New York World's Fair, and the 1958 Brussels Universal Exposition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Fair: Some of Its Principal Sights and Exhibits In this year of our Lord 1893 Chicago is the most famous city of all the world, the one toward which the thoughts of all enlightened people most naturally turn, the center about which the world of business and progress gravitates. The settlement of Chicago had scarcely begun sixty years since, and the story of the city's growth reads like a fairy tale. Its first census was taken in 1829, and showed less than ten families outside Fort Dearborn, which contained a small United States garrison. Soon afterward the prospect that a canal would be constructed from that point to La Salle, ninety-six miles distant, began to attract settlers; some 400 came in 1831, followed by others in 1832, when the first school was opened with twelve pupils, and the first Sunday-school with thirteen. Work on the canal began in 1836, the city was incorporated in 1837, and in 1840 the census showed a total population somewhat below 4,500, with a total valuation of $94,437. The canal was completed in 1848, and in 1850 the population had increased to above 28,000. By this time the enterprising from all portions of the country had begun to discern the possibilities of the lakeside city, and business men, full of energy and determination, came flocking to the scene. In 1860 there were over 109,000 souls within the corporate limits; in 1870, more than 306,000; in 1880, 503,000; while 1890 showed the remarkable figures of 1,098,576. A portion of the increase of the last decade was due to the annexation of outlying towns whose interests were identical with those of the city proper, while their population was almost entirely made up of persons having places of business or employment in Chicago. A census taken at the present time would doubtless show not less than 1,200,000 inhabitants in the city. It was forty years ago last February that the first railroad, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, reached the city, and three months later the Michigan Central had extended its line to the city; but it was five years more before the first line from the city into the outlying country began construction, and this in 1850 had only reached out forty-two miles in the direction of Galena. At the present time, Chicago is the greatest railroad center in the world, forty different roads, representing 25,000 miles of track, meeting there. Averaging the time of the railroad trains arriving and departing, one train enters the city every ninety-six seconds during the twenty-four hours, while as frequently others depart. Fifty thousand passengers and 120,000 tons of freight is the normal daily handling; while the water commerce represents over 12,000arrivals and an equal number of clearances annually, with a tonnage of some 4,000,000 in each direction. These are some of the salient and impressive facts regarding the great city, now the second in size and material resources on this continent. The most wonderful illustration of Chicago spirit, and one which cannot be too often recalled, is the story of the recovery from the disastrous effects of the great fire in 1871.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the World's Fair: Being a Complete Description of the World's Columbian Exposition From Its Inception You want me to express my opinion in regard to the Fair. I cannot talk to you about it from an artistic standpoint, for I know very little about art. I can only tell its effect upon me and, inferentially, what it will be upon 10,000,000 of people. I think it will astound every one who visits it, both on account of its magnitude and what they will consider its artistic merits. It would be fairy-like if it were not so colossal. It is a vision snatched from dreams whose lines have been brought out and well defined by the iodine of art. As an educational force and inspiration I believe the buildings, their grouping, and laying out of the grounds will in themselves do more good in a general way than the exhibits themselves, by the exaltation that it will inspire in every man, woman, and child who may have any emotions, and who has none, that may come to view it. I think that the prospect from Lake Michigan will impress every one who approaches it from that side by the tout ensemble which will be presented. I never looked at it without thinking of Claude Melnotte's description to Pauline of his palace by the Lake of Como. I was at Nice some years ago, and one morning in November I looked from my balcony up the distant mountain side and saw the cataract going over the dam, the Alps in the background, with the olive groves and the blue Mediterranean far above ground, and I said to my wife: "Every one who can should come to Nice to put in a stock of material for dreams." I think the Exposition furnishes a magazine for dreams equally as grand and more attractive. I have no doubt that, notwithstanding the vast amount of literature and illustrations which has been issued describing the Fair, the expectations of our people and those from abroad will be more than realized. I never go down to it but what I am lifted up to a higher plane, and feel more enthusiasm in regard to its real magnitude and merit. If it was within the range of constitutional legislation it would pay the Government of the United States to bring free of expense ten millions of our people who will not have the money to come.
