  • Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago's Parks
    Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago’s Parks by Julia S. Bachrach, Chicago Park District Historian In 1909, Daniel H. Burnham (1846 – 1912) and Edward Bennett published the Plan of Chicago, a seminal work that had a major impact, not only on the city of Chicago’s future development, but also to the burgeoning field of urban planning. Today, govern- ment agencies, institutions, universities, non-profit organizations and private firms throughout the region are coming together 100 years later under the auspices of the Burnham Plan Centennial to educate and inspire people throughout the region. Chicago will look to build upon the successes of the Plan and act boldly to shape the future of Chicago and the surrounding areas. Begin- ning in the late 1870s, Burnham began making important contri- butions to Chicago’s parks, and much of his park work served as the genesis of the Plan of Chicago. The following essay provides Daniel Hudson Burnham from a painting a detailed overview of this fascinating topic. by Zorn , 1899, (CM). Early Years Born in Henderson, New York in 1846, Daniel Hudson Burnham moved to Chi- cago with his parents and six siblings in the 1850s. His father, Edwin Burnham, found success in the wholesale drug busi- ness and was appointed presidet of the Chicago Mercantile Association in 1865. After Burnham attended public schools in Chicago, his parents sent him to a college preparatory school in New England. He failed to be accepted by either Harvard or Yale universities, however; and returned Plan for Lake Shore from Chicago Ave. on the north to Jackson Park on the South , 1909, (POC).

In the following pages all the buildings and noticeable features of the grounds are indexed in the following manner: The letters and figures following the names of buildings in heavy black type (like this) are placed there to ascertain their exact location on the map which appears in this guide. Take for example Administration Building (N i8): 18 N- -N 18 On each side of the map are the letters of the alphabet reading downward; and along the margin, top and bottom, are figures reading and increasing from i, on the left, to 27, on the right; N 18, therefore, implies that the Administration Building will be found at that point on the map where lines, if drawn from N to N east and west and from 18 to 18 north and south, would cross each other at right angles.

Though imposing in appearance, it is actually a much smaller replica of a statue displayed during the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, which Chicago had won the honor of hosting. Resting on a booming economy and explosive urban growth, it was the city most emblematic of America’s rising status. However, this rapid expansion also earned Chicago a reputation as uncultured and inhumane, a hell of a city. The exposition, through the neoclassical majesty of the White City, would provide Chicago with the opportunity to rehabilitate its image, while also demonstrating the legitimacy of America’s claim to hold a place in the genealogy of Western civilizations and empires.

  • Beaux-Arts.Pdf
    PREFACE For more than two centuries, the Palais Bourbon and the Hôtell de Lassay have been at the heart of French political life. From the very moment the Council of Five Hundred moved there in 1798, the edifices lost their original residentiiaal function and became the seat of national sovereignty and the cradle of our Republican values. These ancient walls resonate with the grand voices which, togetther, have made France and which have shown us and continue to guide us along the patth of liberty and solidarity: Lamartine, Schœlcher, Hugo, Jaurès, Clemenceau, but also,, more recently, Robert Badinter or Simone Veil. These splendid buildings are also an extraordinary testtament to the architectural and artistic development of our country, from the Regency to the modern daay. The architect Jules de Joly, the painters Delacroix, Vernet, Pujol, Alechinsky, and JonOne, as well as the sculptor De Maria, have all left their indelible mark here. Their artistic interpretations speak to us of France, of the demands of democratic debate and of our collective capacity to overcome our divisions. These national palaces, brimming with history, are also, through the parliamentary sittings, the daily arena for the work of MPs, their assisttants and of the civil servants of the National Assembbly. The work of Parliament must be better known by all. More than ever, our Assembly, which is the expression of direct universal suffrage, mustt be the shared house of all French citizens. New technologies have enabled us to make huge steps in the field of transparency and the National Assembly will continue its efforts in this direction, in the same way as it wishes to allow its heritage to be accessible to all.

  • The Display of Self and Others at Chicago's 1893 World Fair
    Encountering Masculinities: The Display of Self and Others at Chicago’s 1893 World Fair CHRISTIAN WIDHOLM This is an article about the social construction of gender, or more specifically, the social construction of bourgeois man, based on an analysis of a North American World Exhibition that took place towards the end of the nineteenth century. The article focuses on the construction of masculine gender: how man was opposed to woman, and how the idea of uncivilized was contrasted with civilized masculinity. These ideals of masculinity would have significant social consequences; the political, industrial and military structures of North America and Western Europe were influenced by the bourgeois male ideal that gained recognition during the last decades of the nineteenth century. My analysis concentrates on the World Exposition in Chicago, 1893, which commemorated the four-hundredth year anniversary of Columbus’s arrival on the American continent. This is a particularly interesting time, a formative one for the new mass society.1 An examination of the United States increases our understanding of this universal Western phenomenon, for the U.S. was a relatively new actor both as empire-builder and world-exhibitor. Essentially, world expositions served two purposes: individual nations gained a forum for showing off their achievements in competition with other nations; and the contemporary power elite got the opportunity to present its dream of the ‘perfect’ society. Technology, architecture, colonial conquests and economic strength were exhibited at most expositions, as were – often – those human beings that were seen as being the opposite of the Western male ideal. My analysis of the Chicago Exposition in its cultural context is meant to nuance our picture of world expositions, exploring a world where great men built a ‘city’ of magnificent edifices, while the world of women was represented separately, by a building positioned between the ‘real’ Exposition grounds and amusement fair-like area that housed the colonized people from the peripheries of the empires.

    INFORMATION TO USERS Tills reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While tiic most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality o f the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2 . When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper left hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections w ith small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
