may 1, 1893 - 1893, The World’s Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois

Description:

“California rooted much of its self-promotion in a vision of the land’s astounding natural fecundity. Indeed, anything that could be grown under the sun seemed to be on display in the California building at the exposition, prompting one Chicago newspaper to conclude,‘California proved her claim that she is the land of sunshine and flowers.’” (Sackman, 85)
