EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking scene of the Russia and Asia pavilion at the Paris Exhibition of 1889. The Exposition Universelle, as it was formally known, marked the centennial celebration of the French Revolution and attracted millions of visitors from around the world. This image showcases the impressive architecture of the Russia and Asia pavilion, with its many ornate, spired buildings. The structures are illuminated by lanterns, casting a warm, inviting glow over the area. The Paris Exhibition of 1889 was a significant cultural event, and the Russia and Asia pavilion was a testament to the growing connections between Russia and Asia. The Russian Empire had recently expanded its influence in Asia, and this pavilion served as a showcase for the artistic, industrial, and cultural achievements of both regions. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of the buildings reflect the rich cultural heritage of Russia and Asia, making this photograph a visual feast for the eyes. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which was assembled by the renowned American collector and philanthropist, Henry W. Boswell. Boswell was an avid collector of lantern slides, which were used for projecting images onto a screen for educational and entertainment purposes. This photograph, along with the thousands of others in the Boswell Collection, provides a unique window into the past and offers valuable insights into the historical, cultural, and artistic developments of the late 19th century. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the Paris Exhibition of 1889 and the significant role it played in fostering international cultural exchange. Its intricate details and vibrant colors continue to captivate viewers and transport them back in time to this remarkable historical event.
