Report of the Commissioner-General for the United States to the International universal exposition, Paris, 1900. February 28, 1901, read, referred to the Committee on Printing, and ordered to be printed
This is an official 1901 report by the United States Commissioner-General, Ferdinand Wythe Peck, to the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900, printed in Washington for Congress. The photographs, printed sideways on the page, show United States exhibition halls at Paris, including the Liberal Arts palace, the Fine Arts galleries and an exhibit with framed paintings. A designer could take from them the heavy Beaux-Arts stonework, arched colonnades, gilded ornament and dense hanging of framed pictures typical of 1900 exhibition display.
