The Magic of America: Electronic Edition – Marion Mahony Griffin
"'The Magic of America,' a typescript of over 1,400 pages with approximately 650 accompanying illustrations, was written and compiled by Marion Mahony Griffin (1871-1961), architect, designer, delineator, and artist. In 1911 she married Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937), architect, landscape designer, and city planner. Their architectural practice spanned almost four decades on three continents, and "The Magic of America" was meant, in part, to be a testament to their life and work together."

The "Fine Arts" gallery is defined as those visual arts primarily concerned with the creation of beauty, such as architecture and gardens, painting, sculpture, and Ukiyoe."

Documenting the Gilded Age: New York City Exhibitions at the Turn of the 20th Century
"The art exhibitions of small galleries, society clubs and associations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries chronicle the emergence of New York City as a metropolitan city destined to be a global center for the international art market. Ephemeral exhibition checklists, pamphlets and catalogs from this period document artistic movements, artists of the period, economic markets, and the social and cultural history of New York City and the United States."
