EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the entrance to the French Indies pavilion at the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) of 1889 in Paris. The image showcases an ornate, carved doorway adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns, leading up to a grand flight of steps. The entrance is further accentuated by a large, ornate lantern atop the doorway, casting a warm, inviting glow over the area. The Paris Exhibition of 1889, also known as the Exposition Universelle, was held to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution and showcase the latest technological and industrial achievements of the time. The fair attracted millions of visitors from around the world and featured numerous pavilions representing different countries and their cultures. The French Indies pavilion was a significant attraction, showcasing the rich natural resources and cultural diversity of the French colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The ornate doorway and steps in this photograph reflect the grandeur and opulence of the colonial era, while also highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and artistic skills of the time. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, a vast archive of glass lantern slides that were used for educational and entertainment purposes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular slide provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Paris Exhibition of 1889 and the wonders of the French Indies pavilion.
