THE BANCROFT COMPANY, PUBLISHERS
1893The originating idea of this work
was not without its ambition.
There have been Fairs, and there
have been Books of Fairs; but there
was never a Fair equal to this Columbian
Exposition, and a Book of this
Fair, to be worthy of the name,
must me immeasurably superior to
any that has ever been made. What then should be the Book
of this Fair? It should be what
every book should be, true to the
subject and true to itself. In poetry
is voiced the soul; history reproduces
an epoch; biography presents
the man. He who well and truly
plays the Boswell to this huge Chicago
Johnson need have no fear
that his devotion will result in a bad
Book of the Fair. In this work,
poetry, history, and the consummation
of all industry must unite to
formulate a fitting testimonial to this
greatest of civic displays. This, then,
should be and is the ambition of
the publishers of the Book of the Fair,
the earnest desire of superiority in so reproducing
the Fair as best to show forth its utility and beauty, and render its benefits
perpetual. Such a publication has alone been made approximately possible by the
late marvelous developments
in the printers’
art. If instead of our
present photographer and
photo-engraver we were
forced to employ the late
wood and steel processes,
an undertaking like that
upon which we are now
engaged would be wholly
out of the question. To
catch the picture ere it
vanishes—a picture of the
sum total of civilization's
achievements—and transfix
it in enduring forms
upon the printed page, LABYRINTH IN THE MOORISH PALACE. ELECTRIC LAUNCH.are marvels of modern magic no less grand and beneficial than any of the miracles
of the electrician. The plan of our Book of the Fair is to present in type and pictures, in the
highest style of art, the entire Exposition within a reasonable space. To do this we
cannot give in detail every exhibit, as this would be no less wearisome than uninstructive.
Where there are twenty or forty similar displays of one industry, to present a
few of the best, as examples of the whole, giving more or less extended mention
of the others, is obviously
far better than to give
them all in detail, which latter
course would lead to ten or
twenty bulky volumes, which
few would care to house or
even to examine. We hope to
accomplish all within the limits
of 1,000 imperial folio pages,
12 by 16 inches. Publication
in parts to begin soon after the
opening of the Exposition, and
continue at about the rate of
two parts a month until the
completion of the work in 25
parts of 40 pages each; price
per part $1.00, Edition de
luxe, limited, in 10 sections at
$12.50 the section. By publishing
in parts, and beginning
with the opening of the Fair,
thus carrying it along side by
side with the progress and
development of the great Exhibition
itself, there will be a
freshness and vitality in our
work which could never in any
other way be attained; at the same time upon the completion of all the parts there
will be presented the whole subject in symmetrical form and logical sequence. STATUARY ON PERISTYLE. BY WAAGEN THE BANCROFT COMPANY, PUBLISHERS
