Panama-Pacific International Exposition (1915 : San Francisco, Calif.)
Of the titles given below, the first two volumes are wholly of this
character. Mrs. James' little book has especial reference to the story
told by the decorative Sculpture. The attractive Neuhaus volume is a
more critical discussion of the Exposition art, as distinguished from
exhibits in the Palace of Fine Arts, which are to be covered by Prof.
Neuhaus' second book. To an outline of Exposition art, Mr. Cheney's
booklet adds a brief, helpful account of the Fine Arts exhibit. Mr.
Barry's more ambitious volume opens with an interesting chapter on the
Exposition's inception and growth; the remainder of the text "is mainly
devoted to the artistic features associated with the courts and the main
palaces.".
The other books named describe and show "Exposition art."

Index
In order not to overload this index with details which, for most
readers, would render it inconvenient, only the more important
Sculptures and murals among the "Exposition art" have been listed here,
together with the different national and historical sections of the Fine
Arts Palace, and the names of artists mentioned most frequently in the
text. Fuller lists will be found on p. 130-133 (winners of grand prizes,
medals of honor and gold medals in the Fine Arts Exhibit) and p. 194-5
(murals and Sculptures).
Figures in light-face type refer to pages in the text, those in heavier
type to the illustrations.
