Original – Color-lithographed poster of the grounds of the 1900 Exposition universelle in Paris. The view overlooks the Seine, the Grand Palais, the exhibition buildings leading to Les Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, and the exhibition buildings constructed around it. Some of the more fantastical buildings constructed for the Exposition are shown, such as the Globe Céleste. In the foreground are world leaders, including William McKinley and monarchs, such as Queen Victoria, and her son (Edward VII, upon her death), Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary, Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of Russia, and Menelik II, Emperor of Ethiopiaa

• Comment – I like this image a lot, but there's a fair amount of water spotting in the upper left corner, particularly in the sky. There's also a vertical band of lighter color about a quarter of the way in from the left side, and it runs all the way from top to bottom. Moonreach (talk) 15:37, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

• That's an issue with the document, not the reproduction, so I am not sure we should touch that. Yann (talk) 07:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

  It's a lithograph, one of many reproductions of the work. We should seek to make the ideal copy. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 21:24, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
