Résumé

Ce document au ton critique vise à éveiller une conscience nationale concernant les enjeux actuels d’une pratique artisanale en transformation. Tandis que S. Flood retrace les étapes du concours et de l’exposition en mettant l’emphase sur les disparités géographiques, Wright offre un historique de l’ébénisterie canadienne – ses particularités stylistiques, son marché, la formation des ébénistes –, comparant entre elles les œuvres exposées quant à leurs aspects formels, techniques et fonctionnels. Texte en français et en anglais. Liste des membres du jury, des exposants et des soumissionnaires.
