A humorous 1893 magazine essay on the visitors and atmosphere of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. J. A. Mitchell comments on the crowds, American attitudes toward art, architecture and machinery, newlyweds, rolling-chair attendants, and the high prices of Chicago hotels and food. It is illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by the author and Charles Howard Johnson, and has no textile or weaving content.
