The Nanyang Industrial Exposition, more commonly known as the 1910 Nanking or Nanjing Exposition, was a world’s fair held in Nanjing, China, during the end of the Qing dynasty. It opened on 5 June 1910 and lasted 177 days. I’ve blogged about it before so you can see a map of the site here and a more detailed floor plan of the exhibit booth here. And also a post here on the traces of the 1910 Expo that can still be seen at Nanjing Tech University (here).

So my thanks to John de Lucy for these photos, taken by his grandfather I believe, who attended the Nanyang Industrial Exposition in 1910….
