About the Item
The 1878 exhibition, inaugurated on May 1 after nineteen months of work and preparation, was in line with the Universal Exhibitions of the 19th century. Dedicated to magnifying and presenting the products of industry, it was a considerable success, foreshadowing the more famous events of 1889 and 1900. On a surface of 750 000 square meters, the exhibition had invested a whole part of the capital around the hill of Trocadero and the field of March. On this occasion, the Iéna bridge was widened and raised at a huge cost. In the brand new Palais du Trocadéro, the industrial works of the great European powers were exposed to the public. To get there, from 10 o'clock each morning, visitors could take the tramway or a horse-drawn carriage, as the metro did not yet exist. The Exhibition, which was visited by more than 16 million people, nevertheless resulted in a significant financial deficit of 28 million francs.

Circa 1910 illustrated document by Paillon - Panoramic view of the Mont Blanc
Located in PARIS, FR
This rare circa 1910 illustrated document by Maurice Paillon presents a detailed panoramic view of the Mont Blanc Massif, one of the most legendary and awe-inspiring mountain ranges in the world. Capturing the majesty of Western Europe’s highest peak (4,809m) and its surrounding summits, glaciers, and valleys, this historical document serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable mountaineering reference.
At the time of its creation, alpinism was flourishing, with climbers from across Europe eager to conquer Mont Blanc and its neighboring peaks. The illustration, likely derived from photographic and topographic studies, offers a remarkably accurate relief representation of the range. Every major peak, ridge, and glacier is meticulously labeled, providing an invaluable geographical guide to the region.
The sepia-toned print evokes the early 20th-century aesthetic, blending scientific precision with artistic craftsmanship. The inclusion of key locations such as Chamonix, Aiguille du Midi, Dôme du Goûter, and the Vallée...

1899 "Plan des Tramways de Paris" by Wuhrer - Paris's public transportation
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1899 "Plan des Tramways de Paris" by Wuhrer is a fascinating snapshot of Paris's public transportation landscape at the dawn of the 20th century. This meticulously crafted map delineates the extensive network of tramway lines that crisscrossed the city, each route marked in detail to aid both residents and visitors in navigating the bustling metropolis.
The Belle Époque, during which this map was produced, was a period of significant growth and modernization in Paris. The city's population was expanding rapidly, and with it came the need for a more efficient means of urban transport. Tramways emerged as a vital solution, connecting neighborhoods and making the city's many attractions more accessible. These electric trams were a symbol of technological progress, replacing the horse-drawn carriages of earlier years and setting the stage for the future of public transit...

Old Print of the International Exhibition Building in Sydney, Australia, 1879
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'The International Exhibition Building'.
The Sydney International Exhibition opened in the autumn of 1879, but it wasn't really universal and therefore not officially recognised by the Bureau of International Expositions. Melbourne decided to start their exhibition shortly after the one in Sydney, so the participants could transport their exhibits during the winter of 1880. After the exhibitions many of the exhibits were selected to be at display in the Technological, Industrial and Sanitary Museum (now the Powerhouse Museum). The Garden Palace...
