| Pavilion of Brazil
Louis Dauvergne, architect
Brazil’s pavilion was built by a Parisian architect in a neo-Portuguese
nautical style, with sculpture along one side representing the rivers
of Brazil. Displayed inside were exhibits illustrating Brazil's immense
agricultural resources, including native chocolate and vanilla beans
and sugar cane. The pavilion was surrounded by a garden of exquisite
flowers, banana and palm trees, and orchids.
