The blue book : a comprehensive official souvenir view book of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco, 1915
The Blue Book is an official 1915 souvenir view book of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, issued by the exposition company and published by R.A. Reid for visitors and buyers of keepsakes. Its pages are grouped photographic plates of exhibition buildings, courtyards, and interior exhibit cases, shot in black and white with plain captions, showing Beaux-Arts columns, arcaded loggias, and Spanish mission-style facades that a designer could draw on for classical or revival architectural motifs and for period layout of photo collages.
