  • A lithograph of the Southern Exposition's main building, with a small inset of the art gallery. Residential development resulted in the building's demolition in 1889. Components of the building were used in other construction projects, including the Auditorium-Ampitheater at Fourth and Hill Streets.
  • Color lithograph of the Southern Exposition buildings, 1883. An electric rail line, visible in the background, circled the Exposition grounds and delighted visitors by traversing an underground tunnel lit by Edison's incandescent bulbs.
