Rather than showing a single building or crowd, this print sets the exhibits of North, Central and South America beside those of other nations, inviting the viewer to compare them directly. Side-by-side displays like this were a common feature of the world's fairs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when host cities used national pavilions and exhibit halls to show industrial output, agriculture and manufacturing. The shelflist card names Fitzwilliam (T.) & Co. as an associated party, but it records no date, so the occasion and the company's role remain unverified.
