1893 World's Columbian Exposition Chicago Day Child's Ticket X 49150

A child's admission for Chicago Day, October 9, 1893, the twenty-second anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire and the busiest day the exposition had, with 713,646 paid admissions. It departs from the adult issue in two places. The heading reads CHILD'S TICKET, and the coupon at left adds CHILD'S COUPON beneath the usual warning. Everything else follows the adult ticket: the eagle rising from a nest of flames that stands for the city after 1871, the letter X and the serial 49150 in red on both halves, and the facsimile signature of H. N. Higinbotham as president. The reverse carries the Fort Dearborn vignette dated 1833. The coupon is still joined along its perforation and reads NOT GOOD IF DETACHED. Condition: please see the photographs.
