Description Colorized photo from 1893Original title: Looking West from PeristylePhotographer: UnknownLocation: 6322 South Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, ILThis is the NJ view of this statue, if you are from NJ, then you will understand this joke. For everyone else, we see the back of the Statue of Liberty, her front faces NY.Anyway, this is the Columbian Exposition of 1893, called the City of Wonder, or White city, as all the buildings were alabaster in color, using a new form of spray paint. The great basin was man made, it stretched over a 1000 ft long, and was wide enough to allow people to use boats to get to the other side, instead of walking there.

From there they would take wood, grind it into pulp, make paper, and print those messages on a newspaper like pamphlet that people then took home, it all took 63 minutes.Around the the building you would hear bells ringing, people singing and music playing.

Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
