On the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of 1900, more than fifty million visitors came from all over the world to celebrate the new century in Paris, the self-proclaimed capital of civilization. The spectacle, the theater, the music, the salons and the exhibitions – everything that contributed to building the image of Paris as the city of both luxury and leisure for all, as well as the technical innovations, the art of living, the cultural effervescence, the elegance of the Parisian woman are illustrated by varied testimonies and an original iconography.
Echoing the many events that will commemorate the beginning of the First World War in 2014, this book evokes the final fireworks of a nation sure of itself on the eve of the great upheaval.
