U.S. Government War Exposition
Elevated view of the U.S. Government War Exposition at Grant Park taken from a window the International Harvester building on Michigan Avenue. A large crowd of people surround a cleared plot of land where mock battles took place. Behind the crowd numerous buildings with war trophies, paraphernalia and monuments add to the exposition's attractions. Further behind the buildings rows of tents are set up, presumably for the lodging of the soldiers who took part in the "battle." |
