Title
English: Court of Honor and Geyser Basin at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Seattle, 1909
Description
English: The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle to publicize the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds were located on the campus of the University of Washington. Several of the buildings and the landscaping survive, continuing to shape the layout of the campus.

This photo shows the Court of Honor, featuring the Geyser Basin, ornamental plantings, the European Building on the left, the United States Government Building in the center, and the Oriental Building on the right. The Geyser Basin was fed by the Cascade Fountain, the central axis of the fairgrounds, designed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm.

Frank H. Nowell (1864-1950) was the official photographer of the AYPE, and his photographs were displayed at the fair and used in many official publications.
