Antique illustrated album from the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, the famous World’s Fair that introduced the Eiffel Tower to the world.
This volume was produced as a visual record and souvenir of the international exhibition held in Paris in 1889, featuring photographic and engraved views of the exhibition grounds, architectural pavilions, monuments, and international displays.
Books from the 1889 exposition were created to document the remarkable architecture and engineering achievements of the fair. The event celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and became one of the most important international exhibitions of the 19th century.
The book contains numerous photographic plates and architectural views showing exhibition buildings, courtyards, and structures from the fair.
These volumes are collected today for their connection to the Belle Époque era, Paris history, and the early visual documentation of the exposition.
