Chicago Exhibition of the Fine Arts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149903520)

This volume documents the "Chicago Exhibition of the Fine Arts," held in 1863. A snapshot of artistic taste and production during the Civil War era, this exhibition provides valuable insight into the cultural landscape of Chicago and the broader United States. The exhibition served as a fundraising event, with proceeds benefiting soldiers. This historical record offers a glimpse into the intersection of art, patriotism, and philanthropy in a time of national crisis. Researchers and art enthusiasts will find this a valuable primary source for understanding 19th-century American art and society.
