About this work

This print shows a bright, ornate pavilion labeled "Turquie" at the top. The building has arched windows, red banners, and gold trim. People in 19th-century clothes walk around outside, while others stand on a balcony. The walls are painted with swirling patterns and fake columns. The word "Turquie" means "Turkey" in French, so this is a pavilion from Turkey at a world’s fair. The artist used bold colors and lots of detail to make it look fancy.
