Documents the mixture of amazement and alarm with which European visitors greeted 1890s Chicago: as a futuristic city animated by a crass, frenetic mercantile class. This volume contains a bibliography, arranged by country and profiles of the foreign observers. It is illustrated with over seventy photographs, drawings, paintings and cartoons.
