| Summary: | The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle to publicize the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds were located on the campus of the University of Washington. This photo of Union Circle is facing southwest towards the Japan Building, with Queen Anne Hill just visible in the distance. The magnificent natural setting of the fair contrasts here with the ornamental landscape design of the fairgrounds by the Olmsted Brothers. Frank H. Nowell (1864-1950) was the official photographer of the AYPE, and his photographs were displayed at the fair and used in many official publications. 1 glass negative: b&w; 8 x 10 in. |
