Description
English: Scarce and fantastic view of the 1889 World's Fair, held in Paris, and the event for which Gustave Eiffel designed his eponymous tower. This poster is notable for its fine artistic design, using subtle twilight colors and wavy lines to represent the rest of Paris.

The central view shows the Champs de Mars through to the Trocadero, with the Eiffel Tower standing tall above the fairgrounds. Surrounding the map are various countries' flags, images of buildings that were part of the exhibition, and various mottos (in French and Latin) such as "Pax," "Industry," "Work," and "Agriculture."

The monogram of the poster's artist "GTC" is in the lower-left corner, ornately inscribed into the book below the title. We have been unable to trace the artist's full name, although it is known that the artist would later go on to produce a poster of the world's fair of 1900 eleven years later.
Français : Vue rare et fantastique de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, qui s'est tenue à Paris, et de l'événement pour lequel Gustave Eiffel a conçu sa tour éponyme. Cette affiche est remarquable pour sa conception artistique raffinée, utilisant des couleurs crépusculaires subtiles et des lignes ondulées pour représenter le reste de Paris.

La vue centrale montre le Champs de Mars jusqu'au Trocadéro, avec la tour Eiffel se dressant fièrement au-dessus du parc des expositions. Autour de la carte se trouvent les drapeaux de divers pays, des images de bâtiments qui faisaient partie de l'exposition et diverses devises (en français et en latin) telles que « Pax », « Industrie », « Travail » et « Agriculture ».

Le monogramme de l'artiste de l'affiche « GTC » se trouve dans le coin inférieur gauche, inscrit de manière ornementale dans le livre sous le titre. Nous n'avons pas pu retracer le nom complet de l'artiste, bien que l'on sache que l'artiste produira plus tard une affiche de l'exposition universelle de 1900 onze ans plus tard.
