	Dora Williams painted watercolors, using vibrant colors with a technique that was impressionistic. After the Midwinter Fair entry, history records little about Dora Williams.

After the 1906 quake, Dora Williams moved to Berkeley and lived out her days.		Dora Williams painted watercolors, using vibrant colors with a technique that was impressionistic.

	~~''--Mae Silver, March 17, 1994, San Francisco, California''~~

	In retrospect, the status of women's art in Nineteenth Century San Francisco was quite remarkable. As the seat of culture in the new West, San Francisco attracted and supported a vigorous art community. Its first school of art called the California School of Design, predecessor to today's Art Institute, welcomed both men and women as students and instructors. How this fledgling school managed to flourish in the late 1800s, especially in the throes of the twenty year cycles of depression, is a wonder.

	Harriet Hosmer did not have an entirely positive experience in San Francisco either. While Queen Isabella, as in Chicago, received commendable reviews from art critics and the public, the statue met discussions of a different kind in San Francisco. The Jewish community of the city reminded the jurists selecting statues to remain in Golden Gate Park that Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand were rulers at the time of the Spanish Inquisition when Jews were converted, killed or exiled. Bear in mind that 1894 was the year Adolph Sutro, a prominent Jew backed by the Populist Party, ran for mayor of San Francisco and won. Harriet Hosmer's last hope for her statue to be bronzed for an outdoor setting vanished. From Hosmer's actions after the Fair, it would seem that these experiences with the American Fairs exhausted her enthusiasm as a sculptor. She left the Queen Isabella statue in San Francisco, went back to her studio in Rome and closed it. Returning to Watertown, Massachusetts, her birthplace, she spent the rest of her days working to create a perpetual motion machine. Presumably, the statue of Queen Isabella was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake.		Harriet Hosmer did not have an entirely positive experience in San Francisco either.
