Report of the Commissioner-General for the United States to the International universal exposition, Paris, 1900. February 28, 1901, read, referred to the Committee on Printing, and ordered to be printed
This is a 1901 government report from 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. Its rotated plates show exhibition halls, displays of art and industry, and a railway exhibit, photographed from above and at angles that make the crowded interiors read as dense patterns of arches, cases and machinery useful for layout studies.
