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 under Commissioner-General Ferdinand Wythe Peck for Congress and the public. Its photographs show the American exhibits at the Paris fair: a richly panelled interior, a control-panel and machinery hall, a view along a rail line, and an ornate bronze-and-wood entrance to a steel and wire display. A designer might take from them the Beaux-Arts decorative detailing and the dense exhibition-hall layouts of the period.
