Grand entrance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every time I think I’ve said enough on this subject something else turns up. I’ve linked before to the Brooklyn Museum’s tinted photographs<\/a> of the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900 but these photochom prints at the Library of Congress<\/a> are so sharp, detailed and subtly hued they make all other views seem crude in comparison. If you’ve seen earlier views of the exposition buildings then everything here is very familiar, albeit more lifelike than anything you’ll find elsewhere. In addition to the greater veracity, the Library of Congress also makes many of its pictures available as high-quality files. These prints and the few minutes of film footage<\/a> is the closest you’ll get to this event without a time machine.<\/p>\n
