Midway plaisance
A chromolithographed souvenir book published in Chicago in 1893 by the Orcutt Company, with pictures by W. H. Crane depicting the Midway Plaisance at the World's Columbian Exposition for visitors to that fair. The pictures are gouache-like colour views of street scenes, with a designer able to draw on their loose watercolour washes, warm earth tones, and framed vignettes with decorative borders for period layouts.
