The Floor Plan for the 1910 Nanyang Industrial Exposition
Posted: September 21st, 2012 | 1 Comment »The 1910 Nanyang industrial exposition, or perhaps better known as the 1910 Nanyang Exposition, was the official world’s fair held in Nanking (Nanjing) on June 5, 1910. I happened upon this early floor plan of the site in the February 25th edition of the North-China Herald. The map was designed to appeal to foreign nations planning to attend. America, Britain and a host of European and Asian countries did indeed attend.
PS: More pics from the Nanyang Expo at my new Tumblr site which now acts as a bit of an overspill for this blog – http://chinarhyming.tumblr.com/
The two Pi Xiu animal sculptures, i think they are from overseas, exactly say is from USA, Puma, while not Pi Xiu, a kind of traditional animal. But I have no any evidence on my hand. Could you offer any futher information related? I am a college teacher from Nanjing Tech University where the sculptures located in. Email: zrznj@njtech.edu.cn
