Description
Two men discuss plans for the City Beautiful movement in six vignettes. The top three vignettes show the excitement of both men. The fifth vignette displays a money bag labeled "self interest" whispering "Look out! It will cost you money" into one man's ear. The sixth vignette shows the money-conscious person putting a stop to the plans.
The City Beautiful movement flourished in the early twentieth century in cities like Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Cleveland. A mixture of urban planning and architectural design, the movement accomplished such wonders as the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
