The seven photographs depict displays in the 1867 Exposition universelle in Paris, held on the Champs de Mars. Six are by Pierre Petit, official photographer of the Commission impériale. The seventh was taken by Bisson jeune (published by Léon & Lévy). Four interior views of the Palais show contributions from the United States: the Minnesota display includes globes, decorative objects, and an installation of photographs of Yosemite by Carleton Eugene Watkins; the Indiana section includes photographic portraits by Frederick Gutekunst; the Mississippi portion contains lamps, clocks, and crystal; and one image depicts American machinery and includes a view of the stained glass windows of the Galerie des machines. A fifth interior view of the Palais shows a Russian gallery featuring a replica of Rumanian cupolas, with a Japanese pagoda in the background. The remaining two prints depict a small-scale replica of the Mosquée de la Brousse (Green Mosque of Bursa, Turkey): an interior view by Petit and an exterior view by Bisson jeune.

7 photographic prints : albumen ; 44 x 54 cm. or smaller.
