Scope and Contents

First Presidency, letter to artists in Paris, 26 April 1892, says: "The walls of the Garden [of the Salt Lake Temple] ought to represent as well as can be done, the Garden of Eden in the condition in which it was when the Lord placed our first parents therein, as described in the scriptures, filled with the most beautiful vegetation, and with animals of every kind dwelling together without enmity.... We would like the designs to be as beautiful as it is possible to obtain."
