Article from Scribner's Magazine describing the architectural, sculptural, and mural decoration of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition buildings in Chicago, written as the fair was nearing completion. It covers the classical architecture under D. H. Burnham, the painted domes and panels by American artists in the Manufactures and Liberal Arts, Agricultural, and Administration buildings, outdoor sculpture, and planned banners and flags. Textile content is limited to allegorical dome figures of the Textile Arts, Needle-work, and Spinning (with a spider-web motif) by Robert Reid, J. Alden Weir, and Kenyon Cox, and a panel on textiles by Walter MacEwen and Gari Melchers.
