Tickets to the White City
The World's Columbian Exposition opened on the Chicago lakefront on 1 May 1893 and closed on 30 October. These are the tickets people carried through its gates: two of the named days the fair printed separately, a season ticket for the children's pay gates, and the plain undated admission sold at the turnstile. Chicago Day, 9 October, drew 713,646 paid admissions and remains the reason the eagle on those tickets is rising out of a fire.
