À travers l'Exposition de 1900
A guidebook to the 1900 Exposition universelle in Paris, written by Gaston de Wailly and published by Fayard frères for visitors wanting a view of the fair's architecture and decorative arts. The pictures are black-and-white architectural drawings: long elevations of pavilions and palace façades, a turreted French Art Nouveau house with tiled roof and ironwork balconies, and a printed page with a riverside building seen in side view. A designer could take from them the rhythm of arcaded façades, dense ornamental detailing, and the layout of exhibition buildings along the Seine.
