Group of Fair Officials at World's Columbian Exposition, c.1893

This portrait of Daniel H. Burnham and other key planners of the World's Columbian Exposition was likely taken the winter before the fair opened. The enormous structures of the Court of Honor loom in the background. From left to right: Ernest R. Graham, Assistant Director of Works; unidentified; Burnham; M. B. Pickett, Secretary of Works; unidentified; and Charles B. Atwood, who became chief designer.
