Report of the commissioner-general for the United States to the International universal exposition, Paris, 1900 ... February 28, 1901
This is a 1901 official report by the United States Commission to the Paris Exposition of 1900, written by commissioner-general Ferdinand Wythe Peck and printed in Washington for the government and those interested in the fair. The four plates are rotated photographs of exhibition halls, showing machinery installations, a crowded hall of wall displays and cases, and an interior of a palace with a glass-roofed gallery and crowds. Designers might take from them the dense, orderly layout of late nineteenth-century industrial exhibits and the grand glass-and-iron architecture of the Paris fair.
