A Harper's Weekly article from May 1881 announcing the International Cotton Exposition to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, opening October 5 of that year. It explains that the show will feature cotton and other textiles, plus Southern food products, manufactures and minerals, and Northern manufacturers' exhibits. It also covers the hoped-for benefits (better agricultural machinery, closer ties between producer and manufacturer), Atlanta's rail accessibility, and the estimated $200,000 cost and fundraising by director-general H. J. Kimball. A bird's-eye engraving after Horace Bradley shows the exposition buildings.
