Four New Images[edit]

I just posted four images that I believe were taken of the World's Columbian Exposition by my great grandfather. The family may have more of these kind of images. I am not sure that all of them are of the Columbian Exposition and if they are not please let me know. One in particular was interesting to me in that it showed the inside of an exhibit hall that I hadn't seen similar images of. Please feel free to delete this gallery after a bit. Any extra information that people could provide about the images would be appreciated. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davefoc (talk • contribs) 08:19, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wisconsin Building

The first image shows variously designed "church steeples"... located *under* the dome/ceiling of this... technologically industrial exhibition of devices. Did the priests compete with each other in showing off their devotion to god... at this... exhibition? 2600:1700:BA90:97C0:607A:E808:52AB:390B (talk) 21:45, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
