 the World's Fair aud its surroundings, and the famous Midway Plaisance*

 among wild and curious races of people. 



More than $50,000 have been expended in the preparation of this truly mag- 

 nificent work, and $50,000 more will be expended during the next few weeks in 

 completing it. The author and his staff of artists spent nearly the whole summer 

 at the Fair, collecting historical materials and securing the grandest arrav of 

 Photographs of the buildings, grounds, exhibits, landscapes, and curious and won- 

 derful features of the greatest Exposition that human eye ever beheld. 



These photographs were taken by real artists — artists of reputation, skilled 

 in their profession, who knew how to select points of the greatest interest and 

 from which the best views could be obtained. 



In addition to the photographs secured by these special artists, the publish- 

 ers also had the pick and choice of those taken by the Official Photographer of the 

 United States Government.
