Exterior views include a general view of the exposition featuring the main pavilion and views of orientalized pavilions. In addition to the more typical views such as the sculpture galleries taken by Michelez, and the crystal display, the interior views include the locomotion section, the gallery of machines and a model of that gallery, and a diorama-like display of a stuffed camel with a palanquin and passengers atop, accompanied by a horse and rider and other figures, and all set in a tiled niche. Vincenzo Vela's statue of Christopher Columbus, with his arm around a native woman representing America, is depicted facing a display of Persian carpets in front of which stand a group of mannequins garbed in middle eastern costumes. The album's penultimate image is of a pylon covered in hieroglyphics and topped with a closed European crown which served as the gateway to the Egyptian pavilion, while the final image, by Michelez, depicts Vincenzo Vela's statue Gli ultimi giorni di Napoleone Primo which portrays a seated Napoleon I at the end of his life
