Report of the commissioner-general for the United States to the International universal exposition, Paris, 1900 ... February 28, 1901
This is a government report from 1901 by the United States Commission to the Paris Exposition of 1900, written by commissioner-general Ferdinand Wythe Peck and printed in Washington for official use. Its photographs record the American presence at the Paris Exposition Universelle, with a monumental arched gateway and grand avenues shown in halftone. A designer might take from them the period grandeur of exposition architecture, including the ornate arch, sculpted horse, and crowded promenades rendered in sepia halftone.
