I can’t leave the 1900 Paris exposition alone, and with good reason. If further proof were required that this event brought Winsor McCay’s Slumberland to earth for a few weeks, this stunning Brooklyn Museum Flickr set has the evidence. Not only five pages of high-resolution views but they’re all hand-tinted which adds to the splendour and highlights the ladies’ parasols.

Any chance you know of a high resolution image of the 1900 Paris Exposition poster of Sarah Bernhardt in a yellow dress surrounded by new media technology? I am looking to adorn a new book about world’s fairs and the press would like a higher resolution (300 dpi) image than I can find on the web. THANKS!
I think you’d have to find a museum with a copy of the original poster. Everything in these exposition posts is material from various websites.
