Shown here is the U.S. Government Building at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, a photograph credited to William H. Rau, the Philadelphia photographer who recorded many of the great world's fairs of his era. The exposition ran from spring through autumn 1900 along the Seine and on the Champ de Mars, presenting industry, art and technology at the turn of the century. National pavilions like this one shaped how each country showed itself to the crowds. The caption details come from an old card and have not been verified, so the building's specifics are best read as a period record.
