Alaska Monument at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, 1909
Order an ImageThe Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909, publicizing the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds were located on the campus of the University of Washington. Several of the buildings and the landscaping survive, continuing to shape the layout of the campus. This photo of the Alaska Monument showcases the large crowds of fair-goers that attended the AYPE. The United States Government Building is behind the monument, and the Hawaii Building is on the right edge of the frame.
Frank H. Nowell (1864-1950) was the official photographer of the AYPE, and his photographs were displayed at the fair and used in many official publications.
