The Sculpture and Mural Decorations of the Exposition / A Pictorial Survey of the Art of the Panama-Pacific international exposition

A richly illustrated guide documents the sculptural and mural decorations created for a 1915 San Francisco exposition, pairing descriptive text with official photographs and plates. After a framing introduction it surveys exterior and exhibit sculpture, fountains, friezes, and mural schemes, describing siting, materials, and iconography. Emphasis falls on allegorical motifs — seasons, elements, progress, and national personifications — and on how sculpture and painting were integrated with architecture and gardens. Captions and essays highlight individual works, artist contributions, and the overall decorative program.
