Summary "The Jewel City" by Ben Macomber is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth examination of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, exploring its architecture, art, landscape, and cultural significance. It serves to commemorate the monumental achievement of the Panama Canal's completion, showcasing the unity and originality that characterized the Exposition's design and the artistic expressions involved in its realization. The opening of the book paints a vibrant picture of the Exposition, initiated in the wake of the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which aimed to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. It describes the extensive planning and collaborative artistic efforts that led to the creation of an unprecedented architectural marvel in the city, highlighting important elements like the Tower of Jewels and various palaces dedicated to different themes. The detailed introduction frames the Exposition as not just a festival but an "epochal" event in history, deeply influencing trade routes and cultural exchange, while presenting a cohesive vision that harmonizes natural beauty with artistic expression.
