Exposition universelle, 1900 : the chefs-d'œuvre
Exposition universelle, 1900: The Chefs-d'oeuvre is a photogravure catalogue of masterworks shown at the 1900 Paris world's fair, compiled by William Walton and published in Philadelphia by G. Barrie & Son for an art-reading public. The plates are reproductions of paintings and sculpture in tonal black and white, with dark interiors, dramatic lighting and classical or romantic subjects that suggest strong value structure and figure compositions for designers studying historical painting.
