The Art Display collected largely by Miss Evelyn Almond Withrow of
San Francisco, as a labor of love, her services being gratuitous, as
was her time in superintending the installation of the exhibit later,
was freely admitted by those informed on such things to be the best
and most complete representation of California art and handicraft ever
brought together on any previous occasion either at home or abroad. It
comprised nearly three hundred pictures, all the best work of the best
artists in the State, besides busts of statuary, samples of modeling
and eight large and specially designed show cases filled with beautiful
samples of all classes of handiwork known to art.
