Text Appearing Before Image:
The Grand Basin, looking eastward, afforded one of the famous views of the Exposition. Thebeautiful sheet of water, the great white structures on each side reflecting in its depths, the fountainsin the foreground and the Peristyle in the distance combined to make a picture to be borne in mind forall time.
Text Appearing After Image:
The Grand Arch of the Peristyle supported what was known as the Columbus Quadriga, a groupof figures representing the discoverer in a chariot drawn by four horses led by women. Heralds rodebeside them. The attitude of the great navigator standing in the chariot was that of one who has suc-ceeded, and the whole grouping was full of life and energy.
