The American Exhibition of the Products, Arts and Manufactures of Foreign Nations was held in Boston in 1883[1][2] and 1884[3][2] in the Mechanics Hall.[4]
It was the world's fair in America that had hosted the most foreign exhibitors at that time, including China and Japan.[5] Henry A. Peirce was the Special Commissioner for the Hawaii (then Kingdom of Hawaii) exhibition.[1]
Although a locally organized exhibition, Congress sanctioned the inclusion of exhibits without duty.[5]
Morris & Co. exhibited and occupied six rooms (total space forty-five feet by thirty feet) showing tapestries and carpets.[4]
