Exposition universelle et internationale de Liège 1905 : section française, classe 85 : rapport
A French trade report from 1906 by Ernest Ricois on class 85 of the French section at the 1905 Liège international exposition, issued by the Comité français des expositions à l'étranger for exhibition organisers and the clothing trade. The four photographs are rotated sideways, showing a grand interior with arched colonnades and tall lamps where dressed figures in long gowns and dark suits stand among display cases. A designer could take from them the formal eclectic interior staging and the long tailored silhouettes of Belgian-era fashion displays.
