Caption: "Fine Arts Bldg. of Worlds Fair in 1893 - Jackson Park - Chicago," c. 1923. The Palace of Fine Arts building shown in this photograph was originally constructed for the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893. After the fair's completion, the building housed the Columbian Museum, which eventually became the Field Museum of Natural History. In 1920, that museum moved to a new building, and the Palace of Fine Arts building was left vacant. After renovations in the late 1920s, the Museum of Science and Industry opened at the site.

Inscribed on photograph: "The Arrival of the Atlantic Fleet at the Golden Gate - May 6, 1908. San Francisco, California. Copyright Charles Weidner, S.F." This photograph, by Charles Weidner, shows the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet, consisting of sixteen battle cruisers and various support vessels, steaming toward the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay. President Theodore Roosevelt ordered the Atlantic Fleet (later called the "Great White Fleet" because the ships were painted white with gold trim) on a tour around the world, beginning in December 1907, to show American goodwill and also demonstrate the power of the U.S. Navy. The Fleet reached the Golden Gate, entrance to San Francisco Bay, on May 6, 1908.
