New Orleans, 1884 World's Fair. Artist's bird's eye view of the "World Cotton Centennial" from over the Mississippi River front. (Fair was held in what would afterwards become Audubon Park, Uptown New Orleans.) View shows sea and river ships docked at riverfront of Fairgrounds. Horticultural Hall is visible towards the front just right of center. Large Main Exhibition Building at center, US Government Hall behind it. Inland from Horticultural Hall at the bend of the tramline track is the art gallery building. One of the two working experimental electric powered streetcar lines visible just right of center; what looks to be two cars of the other one seen to front left of Fairgrounds. |
