Inscription. W.G. & A.J. Thuss were the official photographers of the celebration. A few of their images, as published in the Art Album of the Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition in 1898 by Marshall & Bruce Co., are reproduced here. Their record is an unparalleled tribute to the extravagance, excitement, exotica, and pride in ample evidence at the Exposition. The Thuss gallery, typical of the unusual architecture, was visited by thousands seeking a souvenir of their time spent celebrating "Tennessee! - Her Ilustrious History, Marvelous Resources, and Wonderful Capabilities."
