This is a copyright-deposit photograph of an artwork titled "Exposition Design No. 3," one of several designs prepared for the Jamestown Exposition in Norfolk, Virginia. The fair marked the 300th anniversary of the English settlement at Jamestown in 1607, and it opened in April 1907 on Sewell's Point. Its grounds were built to celebrate that founding and the nation's colonial past, with the Atlantic Coast's naval and maritime importance shown alongside. The record notes a February 1907 date, so the design was probably submitted for copyright before the fair opened. Because the catalog data is unverified, the exact subject of the design and its artist are not confirmed here.
