All but two prints were signed by thirteen different artists. \r\n\r\nMost of the prints were likely used as illustrations from the publication World’s Columbian Exposition. The book of the builders; being the chronicle of the origin and plan of the World’s Fair by Daniel Hudson Burnham and Francis Davis Millet, published in 1894. \r\n\r\nThe digitized content contains seventeen watercolor painting prints. Four prints depict scenes during the construction of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition while the remaining prints depict various scenes during the fair’s run. These prints include murals and statues displayed at the fair as well as scenes showing spectators viewing different cultural events. \r\n\r\nThe Illinois History and Lincoln Collections unit at the University of Illinois Library manages the physical items of the World's Columbian Exposition Watercolor Prints (MS 407). The collection was completely digitized in 2025.
