Artist’s drawing of the Exposition site

Image of the aerial view of Paris France with the exhibition grounds in the centre. This sketch depicts the circular building within the grounds that occupies one square city block, with two main entrances in the front and rear, at each entrance is a gate with a covered entry way into the building. Within the circular building is an uncovered central atrium area. Within the city block that occupies the grounds are also many other buildings which are too small to identify from the height the artist chose. There is another entrance into and out of the building which presumably was used for direct access to the adjacent river, where the competitions were held.
