Telescope Ride At Paris World Fair Promises Fantasies
The World previews a grand plan called The Telescope by French architects Feron and Mege for the 1900 Paris Exposition. A marble 8 story building with four entrances will house museums restaurants and offices, topped by a 505 foot central column supporting a 105 foot diameter balloon-like elevator. Visitors ascend through aquatic and subterranean scenes then traverse a ground level panorama before viewing outer world scenes and century inventions. A second, ground level stroll and buyer platforms will offer Turkish goods and other national displays. Meanwhile a baby’s mischievous excuse caps a side note on grown ups’ evasions.
