Awesome photos of the Columbian Exposition

I love early photography. Here are some cool photos from the Columbian Exposition from way back in 1893.

That's awesome. The scale of the whole thing seems so huge. To me, that seems more impressive than modern Olympic games.

I really like the replica "Columbus" ship. Although the emergency crew is a close second... =D

I love the enormity of it. It seems really bizarre that the pictures are of Chicago.

The emergency crew is pretty sweet, but I think my favorites are the ones that show the "grand parade".
