Description:
Ink on paper poster delineating a night scene at the Barcelona International Exposition; image depicts the broad "Avenida de la Reina María Cristina" illuminated by large orange-yellow glass "Vitrolux" pylons lining the street leading up to the National Palace; bright spotlights highlight the National Palace and the rhythmically changing shapes and forms of the elegant fountains located in front of it [the National Palace, was the largest building at the Barcelona exposition dedicated to culture and was intended as a monument designed to unify the nation]; automobiles and figures populate the boulevard in the foreground.
