Glimpses of The Rainbow City, Pan-American Exposition, at Buffalo : ... also views of Paris Exposition, 1900, and of The White City, Chicago, 1893
A 1901 photographic souvenir book published in Chicago by Laird & Lee, showing views of the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo alongside the Paris Exposition of 1900 and the White City of Chicago in 1893, aimed at visitors and general readers. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of plazas, canals, illuminated facades and sculpture, with crowds and lamp-lit architecture that a designer could draw on for period urban scenes, Beaux-Arts ornament, and night lighting effects.
