The Jewel City

A detailed, illustrated account of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition that explains its planning, overall ground plan, and landscape treatment while tracing the coordination of architecture, sculpture, color, and horticulture. Individual chapters describe major courts, palaces, towers, fountains, and gardens and outline the decorative programs of murals and statuary. Separate sections cover the industrial, fine-arts, foreign, and state exhibits, music and entertainments, illumination, sports, and visitor amenities. Photographs, cross-referenced appendices, and a roster of artists and decorations support a descriptive narrative of how architects, sculptors, and planners collaborated to present a unified symbolic program.
