Innocence was the central figure in a fountain design within the Horticultural Building of the World's Columbian Exposition, World's Fair, Chicago 1893. The graceful young woman holds a long flowing fabric over her head. It drapes around her torso seeming to move as she appears to step from a large shell. The shell is held by two cherubic boys riding Gothic grotesque dolphins. The boys are blowing conch shells which are piped to spout water upwards towards the young woman. The two dolphins also spout water upwards creating the illusion of movement as she seems to step from the shell, her long hair and the draped fabric flowing behind her. The plaque on the base is a rounded rectangle that reads: "J.W. FISKE 2628 PARKPLACE NEW YORK".
