Beautiful monochromatic prints convey the classical exuberance of the Belle Epoque period in this marvelous album. Architectural details are vividly rendered as well as the remarkable breadth of these specially-designed pavillions, restaurants, theatres, and structures for Finland, Romania, and Yemen, with flags waving in the breeze. In one photograph, the Eiffel Tower peeks out from the background. With full identification, including the architect of each building on separate letterpress sheets.
