The Chicago fair of 1893 and a journey across a whole continent meet in The United States of America, an illustrated publication issued in New York that year. Its Albertype reproductions show the Columbian Exposition’s fountains, exhibition halls and elevated views, and cities from Boston and New York to San Francisco and Seattle. Railways, ore docks, stockyards and mines give industry a large place, while Yosemite, Yellowstone, Niagara and the Colorado canyons supply the drama of the landscape. Markets, river traffic, hotels, cemeteries and public monuments fill in everyday America.
