The Exposition Universelle Internationale de 1900, also known as the Paris World Fair of 1900, was a world's fair that was held in Paris, France from April 15 to November 12, 1900. The fair was held to celebrate the achievements of the past century and to accelerate development into the next. The fair featured exhibits from around the world, including art, architecture, technology, and culture. The fair was held in the Champs de Mars and covered over 100 hectares (247 acres). The fair featured many notable exhibits, including the Eiffel Tower, which was built specifically for the fair and served as the entrance arch. It was a major showcase of the latest technological innovations, such as the first moving sidewalk, the first escalator and the first films by the Lumière brothers. It was visited by over 50 million people from around the world.
Stereographs are devices capable of building a three-dimensional image out of two photographs that have about two and a half inches difference between them so that it could imitate the two eyes’ real field of view. Combining these images into a single one with the help of stereoscope, a person can experience the illusion of the image’s depth. Stereoscope uses the same principle as in human binocular vision. Our eyes are separated by about two inches, so we see everything from two different angles. When the brain combined those views in a single picture, we get the spatial depth and dimension. Stereographs were extremely popular between 1850 and 1930 all around the world. Millions of stereographs were made during that time. There was a broad range of themes: landscape, travel, historical moments, nature disasters, architecture and many others.
