The Pan-American at a glance
The Pan-American at a glance is a 1901 photographic souvenir book published in Philadelphia by J. Murray Jordan, documenting the Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York, for visitors and those who could not attend. The four photographs show exposition palaces in monumental Beaux-Arts style, with their domes, towers, colonnades and reflecting pools, photographed in plain black and white. A designer could draw on their symmetrical classical massing, ornamental sculpture, and the way water and gardens frame each building.
