Auction Wizard 2000 Listing Template - AW2KLOT#:16227






This is an original set of lithos printed in 1895 of scenes from the  1893 Chicago Columbian World's Fair. They are not recent reproductions. This set is titled "Jackson's Famous Pictures Set 1" . By the famous photographer  William Henry Jackson. These beautiful prints measures 14 x 17 1/2 with the border and are very detailed. The are printed on thick cardstock which has helped them stay in good condition for over 120 years. Four of these printed have small tears on the edge in the border areas area, none actually go into the picture. 2 of the prints as shown in photos, have a small hole in the picture area. It looks like these prints were sold in a paper envelope that has disintegrated over time but it is included also.
