1893 World's Columbian Exposition 4 Volume Set of Hard Bound Books, "History of the World's Columbian Exposition" edited by Rossiter Johnson. Each Volume covers a different topic and are titled: "Narrative", "Departments", "Exhibits" and "Congresses". Each volume is over 500 pages and are "Fully Illustrated". Published by "D. Appleton & Company", "New York" , "1898" and published "by the Authority of the Board of Directors". There is so much information in these books that I don't know where to start describing any of it. Each volume contains several chapters. I was told that there were only 500 copies of these books published, but I have not been able to verify this statement. Size: 8 1/2" wide by 11 1/2" high. Condition: Overall Excellent with a stain or wear on 2 covers, volume 1 & 3. The pages are nice and clean and there is a little wear on the corners of the covers.
