THE NEW-YORK WORLD'S FAIR NUMBER of L'ILLUSTRATION

will not be:

an imitator nor a competitor of Special World's Fair Issues of American Publications nor a pre-view of this magnificent undertaking.

Will be:

a striking collection of authentic photographs in black-and-white and colors, interesting articles, simple maps and useful information, and therefore a vivid, life-like picture of the Fair in its maturity, fully completed, swarming with visitors.

This comprehensive profusely illustrated number of L'ILLUSTRATION printed on art paper with a de luxe cover in four colors will be treasured by Fair visitors and carried away to all corners of the world where for many years to come it will be brought out and perused for the benefit of less fortunate friends and families,..and while we are on the subject of the less fortunate, they will find some consolation in poring over pages where they will glean a clear idea of what they missed.
