[9] The expo. authorities established a "Department of Photography" with C.D. Arnold listed as superintendent. It's function is completely unclear; a few rare views are known on gray/gray curved mts. with a globe logo on the back and ID of "World's Columbian Exposition, Department of Photography, C.D. Arnold, Superintendent" and CR 92 by Arnold; a letter-number is scratched into the neg. such as "A-5" or "C-2" but none has been seen with a title. No other ref. to a C.D. Arnold as a photog. has been found & he likely was just an administrator; the actual photog. of the views is unknown. Several other photogs. such as Kilburn, the Underwoods, & H.C. White took stereos of the expo which are far more common. It's possible that the views with the expo logo were taken just for internal records, not public sale.
