1893 World's Fair Official Guides & Photo Albums - Four books published around the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. The first is titled ”The ”Time-Saver”: a Book Which Names and Locates 5,000 Things at the World's Fair That Visitors should not fail to see”. It was compiled and published by W.E. Hamilton. Its binding is taped, but it is otherwise in remarkably good condition for its age, very limited use by the original owner with some scattered pencil marks here and there. The second is ”The Official Guide to the World's Columbian Exposition”, compiled by John J. Flinn. Some scattered staining and a rip in the binding of the front cover, but otherwise stable and in good condition. The fourth is ”Chicago Illustrated: Martin's World's Fair Album-Atlas and Family Souvenir.” Some damage to the binding, but book is in fair enough condition as long as it is handled with gentle hands. The fourth is ”Shepp's World's Fair Photographed” by James and Daniel Shepp. Some damage to the cover but the binding seems stable.
