The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle to publicize the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds were designed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm and located on the campus of the University of Washington.
<p>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.
</p><p>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.
