Descriptive Note Text

This postcard reproduces a watercolor by one of the Pavilion's architects, Móric Pogány, representing the main entrance to the Pavilion, with its iconic catenary half-dome.

This postcard is part of a series of postcards commissioned and published by the Executive Committee for the Turin 1911 Exposition, as reported on the back of the postcard: "Edizione ufficiale della Commissione Esecutiva per l'Esposizione Internazionale di Torino 1911 - Proprietà riservata."
