Report of the commissioner-general for the United States to the International universal exposition, Paris, 1900 ... February 28, 1901
This is an official 1901 government report by the United States Commission to the Paris Exposition of 1900, written by commissioner-general Ferdinand Wythe Peck and printed in Washington for Congress and the public. The pictures are rotated black-and-white photographs of the American exhibit halls, with captions naming the mines, metallurgy and steel displays of the Department of Mines and Metallurgy. A designer might take from them the dense, orderly look of early twentieth-century exhibition cases, glass vitrines and ornamental interior architecture.
