Offered is an original Chicago Tribune Art Supplement dated November 12, 1893 , titled "The Barge of Columbia—MacMonnies' Fountain." This striking period print depicts the famous sculptural fountain group from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition (Chicago World's Fair) , designed by sculptor Frederick W. MacMonnies .
This is NOT a modern reproduction —it's a late-19th-century newspaper art supplement sheet with the original printed date and Tribune imprint in the margin. A great piece of Chicago/World's Fair ephemera for framing and display.
