Detailed view of the front of the Glass Factory, showing sculptured
glass blowers, posed like trumpeters, in niches on either side of the entrance
and above the entrance.


The exhibit was one of the most popular at the Exposition. Skilled craftsmen could be seen
creating glass products, many of which could be purchase on the spot as souvenirs of the trip.
