Exposition Wonders Through Gates and Gardens at Paris
A travelogue inside the 1900 Paris Exposition describes approaching the gates, crossing via a bridge, and admiring jeweled halls, gardens, and fountains. The author notes the vast palaces, sprightly sprinkler decorations, and unfinished industrial buildings while visiting the United States pavilion and finding Maine absent from the registry.
Exposition visit notes on moving sidewalk and statues
The writer recalls purchasing moving sidewalk tickets and receiving a second gate check. They describe statues of Victor Hugo and General Sherman, and impressions of Eve and Adam in a sculpture, the Enigma, and the Maine room experience. The building presentation is judged disappointing despite some rooms being attractive.
