Report of the commissioner-general for the United States to the International universal exposition, Paris, 1900 ... February 28, 1901
This is an official 1901 government report by the United States Commission to the Paris Exposition of 1900, written by commissioner-general Ferdinand Wythe Peck and printed in Washington for Congress and the public. The four pages show interior views of exhibition galleries and displays, all photographed sideways on the page so they must be turned to read. A designer might take from them the crowded, formal arrangement of framed paintings hung in rows on fabric-covered walls, and the ornate architectural settings of an early twentieth-century world's fair.
