A curious book of poems lamenting over what the author considered extreme untoward nudity on view at the Panama Exhibition in San Francisco, 1915. An excerpt from the peom A Devil at the Fair - "In ancient Rome, its most licentious days / Ne'er saw such filth exposed to public gaze / But decent fig leaves from all eyes obscured / Debasing sights which here must be endured.".
