Invitation to a Meeting of the World's Fair Committee

A man labeled "19th century," resembling an ancient philosopher with a long beard and toga, is surrounded by the symbols of science and modernity as a young woman brings in a scale model of Paris on a tray, while the figures of the year 1900 glow on the horizon.

The caption reads in the original French: Invitation pour la réunion des jurys des expositions pour 1900.
