The Universal Exhibition of 1889 in Paris was a grand spectacle that showcased the marvels of human achievement from around the world. The event, held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, attracted millions of visitors who marveled at the incredible displays and architectural wonders. One iconic image captured the breathtaking view from the base of the Eiffel Tower, which had been completed just in time for the exhibition. This towering structure dominated the skyline and served as a symbol of modernity and progress. Another photograph depicted the Nicaraguan Pavilion, showcasing unique cultural artifacts and traditions from this Central American nation. A wood engraving provided a bird's-eye view of Paris during opening day, revealing an expansive fairground filled with pavilions representing different countries. A vibrant poster further emphasized this global gathering, inviting people to explore all that it had to offer. Gustave Fraipont's drawings showcased two distinct scenes: one featuring an illuminated Eiffel Tower at night, radiating its brilliance across Paris; another capturing a footbridge on Pont de l'Alma bustling with activity during this momentous occasion. The fair also celebrated diversity through ethnographic portraits and group photographs. One such image portrayed Kanaks - indigenous Melanesian people - proudly representing their culture amidst this international gathering. Similarly, an engraving featured Maison Slave (Slave House), highlighting various forms of human habitation exhibited at the fair. Additionally, there were glimpses into exotic lands like Cairo through black-and-white photographs depicting streetscapes and daily life in Egypt.
