Description from the seller
Magnificent collection assembled from this vast documentary and visual tapestry of the event that marked the end of the 19th century by its technical, artistic, and cultural ambition.
Volumes III and IV include detailed descriptions of the national pavilions, industrial galleries, and artistic sections, highlighting the diversity of exhibits and the spirit of peaceful competition among nations.
They emphasize technical innovations, notably electricity, mechanics, and transportation, while celebrating decorative arts, sculpture, and painting showcased in the dedicated palaces.
The work is distinguished by its abundant engraved illustrations, which allow the reader to relive the visual experience of the Exhibition, with views of the Champ-de-Mars, the palaces, the gardens, and especially the Eiffel Tower, a triumphant symbol of the event.
