...work that made the show possible. In 1927 Fair President Rufus Cutler Dawes appointed Chauncey McCormick chairman of the committee on art exhibits. The Fair's general manager, Maj. Lenox Riley Lohr, wanted to know what Chicagoans wanted to see. A questionnaire showed they wanted to see September Morn and Rosa Bonheur's The Horse Fair.
