The Chefs-d'oœvre
The Chefs-d'oeuvre is a 1900 art and architecture folio published in Philadelphia by G. Barrie, with text by William Walton, Victor Champier and André Saglio, documenting the Exposition universelle of 1900 in Paris. Its pictures are monochrome photographic and engraved views of exhibition buildings, boulevards and the Seine, showing how large civic architecture was framed as a sequence of street, river and facade views a designer could borrow for layout and perspective.
