I just found some of my old stash. I have a stack of photo portfolios of the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Some are dated either 1893 or 1894. The statues, art, and archetechture were incredible. here are a few out of the hundreds of photos that TCers might enjoy... Would love to see inside this exhibit. $80,000 in 1893 money just for this one building. The carvings of the Northwest Indians have many things in common with Souh Sea art. 100 pages.
