Summary: "Some Artists at the Fair" by Frank D. Millet, Will H. Low, J. A. Mitchell, W. Hamilton Gibson, and F. Hopkinson Smith is a collection of essays about the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

The essays delve into the styles and emotions evoked by the Exposition’s edifices, revealing the authors' admiration for the grand scale and exquisite details of the structures. Contributions by notable writers and artists reflect on the interplay of architecture and art, detailing the costliness and ambition of the construction efforts.
