Catalogue général officiel
This is an official catalogue for the 1900 Exposition universelle in Paris, published by Lemercier in 1900 as a guide for visitors to the fair's grounds. The pictures are colour-printed site plans of the exhibition districts, with street grids, building outlines and lettered reference squares. A designer could draw on their clean layered colour blocks, muted tan and green palette, and precise cartographic labelling.
