Descriptive Note Text

This black-and-white postcard captures a lively view of the Exposition.  Fairgoers share the boulevard in Valentino Park with the first automobiles, possibly transporting visiting dignitaries to various locations in the Park.  On the right side one can see the Pavilion of Hungary with its distinctive majolica tile decorations. The section closer to the viewer is the agricultural side of the Pavilion, while the other, covered by an impressive dome, was dedicated to industry.  On the far right, one can see the catenary dome that covered the main entrance to the Pavilion.
