    Temporary Splendor
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021*

I think this might be my third book about the Chicago (1893) World's Fair.  Yes its been sitting in my drawer forever as I moved on.  Thank goodness for my reading OCD!  Gotta empty that drawer!As I actually read this book and followed along with the pictures, I could finally get my head around this event.  Simply immense.  I knew it was big and was a big deal but the combination of text (and there's a lot of it - in small print) and big clear pictures from 1893 helped me begin to "get" it.  So what if we copied France, which copied England.  This was our "come to America and come to Chicago and be awed" event.  And was it awesome.  They built the largest buildings in the world.  Made them look like they were permanent.  With art and architecture and statues and fountains and colonnades and countries and states and industries and business and everybody else involved.  And the amusements - which were also immense - wasn't even the biggest part!  Such a rich and phenomenal event.  And so temporary too?  It looked permanent but actually wasn't even meant to last.  At first I felt sad about that but in reality just about every new construction we make these days is pretty temporary..  Houses, restaurants, schools, stadiums.  We tear them down and build new all the time.Anyway the text is written for an audience familiar with architecture.  I am but not to this extent.  It's also written assuming you know who the famous architects and artists and businesses people and famous people of the late 19th century were, which I pretty much didn't.  But don't let that detract you.  This is a great book about a great event.  Does it matter that it was temporary?  Isn't everything?
