Lucien Baylac Exposition Universelle 1900 Blank Journal — Vue Panoramique Paris Seine Eiffel Tower

In the summer of 1900, Paris became the centre of the world — fifty million visitors passed through the gates of the Exposition Universelle to witness the future, the Belle Époque at its most luminous. The front cover reproduces Lucien Baylac’s Vue panoramique de l’exposition universelle de 1900: a sweeping bird’s-eye view of the exposition grounds along the Seine with the Eiffel Tower presiding over the left of the composition, the ornate pavilions of forty nations lining both riverbanks, the Pont Alexandre III and the Grand Palais visible in the middle distance, and riverboats gliding through the warm summer light; the back cover extends the panorama, wrapping the journal in a complete vision of Paris at the height of its confidence and beauty.
