Gezicht op het transportgebouw met de gouden deur op de World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 1893

This black and white photograph by Charles Dudley Arnold, taken in 1893, captures the "Golden Door" entrance to the Transportation Building at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The building is adorned with ornate architectural details and is reflected in a placid pool of water, creating a sense of grandeur and beauty. Arnold's photograph is a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Exposition, which celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas. The photograph is a reminder of the city's pivotal role as a center of industry and progress in the late 19th century.
