This poster announces the special events scheduled for Chicago Day. A Tribune editorial
titled "What the Day Means" carefully instructed readers that the occasion was not to be a
celebration of destruction, which would have been "in shockingly bad taste," but an
occasion "to glorify all that has been done since then." The night pageant took place in
front of the mammoth Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, the largest roofed structure
ever erected, big enough to contain the United States Capitol, the Great Pyramid,
Winchester Cathedral, Madison Square Garden, and St. Paul's Cathedral. Watching over
the spectacle from the upper left is the "I Will" Maiden.
