We aren’t going to let any possible rain on Saturday interrupt our block party; join us in the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at 11:30, 12:30, and 1:30 to collage your own postcard from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition using copies of images such as these, from The World’s Fair in Water Colors.

At 11:00, noon, and 1:00 join the curators of our current library exhibition, Forever “Egypt!” Works from the Collection of Harold Allen, to view 19th-century stereocards and other library materials depicting the long history of Egyptomania from printed architectural fantasies of the18th century, to the Streets of Cairo at the World’s Columbian Exposition, through the present day.
