Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Rectangular pool lined with potted plants with a sculpted fountain at the end. The fountain has water streaming from a basin upon which rests a relief sculpture of two ships, flanked by twisted columns supporting an entablature and scroll finial, and sculpted library shelves with books and putti friezes below. This structure is part of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, a world's fair held in Seville, Spain from May 9, 1929 to June 21, 1930 in the Parque de María Luisa. After a several year period of not contributing buildings to world's fairs, the United States built three structures for Seville.
