Perry is a pictorial survey of the artistic works featured at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, written in the early 20th century.

The narrative encapsulates the vitality and innovation within American art, showcasing the collaborative efforts of forty-four sculptors who contributed to the visual landscape of this historic event.

It highlights the symbiotic relationship between artists and architects as they share a collective vision for integrating art into urban spaces. Perry also notes the range of artistic influences present, including echoes of classic European styles.
