Depicts the architectural beauty of Paris, based on a wood engraving and lithograph "Panoramic view of the 1900 Universal Exposition" by Lucien Baylac produced in 1900 during the Belle Époque, a period of economic prosperity, scientific progress and artistic innovation. Looking along the banks of the River Seine, the scene shows a district of Paris containing many architectural marvels with the Grand Palais in front. Soaring above them all is the Eiffel Tower, which has come to define the city’s skyline.

The Grand Palais, situated at the Champs-Élysées in Paris, is a historic exhibition hall and museum complex. Built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, it replaced the Palais de l'Industrie. Its ornate stone facades and glass vaults reflect Beaux-Arts architecture. Listed as a historic monument, it's a testament to French art and innovation.
