A descriptive magazine article by W. Hamilton Gibson on the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, illustrated by the author. It describes the lagoon and Wooded Island landscaping by Olmsted and Codman, the rose garden, the Japanese building and dwarf trees, the sculptural ornament of the Fisheries Building, and the Australian elkhorn fern as a model for architectural design. It concerns gardens and architecture rather than textiles or weaving.
