Some artists at the fair ..
Some Artists at the Fair is a 1893 New York book from Charles Scribner's Sons, drawn from the Smithsonian Libraries and put together by several illustrators, including John Ames Mitchell, Francis Davis Millet, Will Hicock Low and W. Hamilton Gibson, to record the sculpture and decoration of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The four plates show draped allegorical female figures in pen and wash, a seated sculptor's study of a youth with a lyre, and the Electricity fountain lit at night, with the figures rendered in soft tonal shading that suggests graceful flowing drapery and a stagey Beaux-Arts decorative manner a designer could borrow for classical ornament.
