Collection Description
This object was part of a photo album either assembled by or presented to Alice Roosevelt Longworth documenting the exhibits at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. The titles come from hand-written captions on the album pages and unfortunately reflect Euro-American colonialist and imperialist attitudes of that period.
