1878
Singular mix of "Moorish" Pavilion and "Occidental" architecture from the Universal Exhibition in Paris, 1878. The publication offers images providing a rich documentation about the exhibition and includes frivolous and caustic comments. The magazine presents sharp and close observations about habits and trends common in Paris and in the western world at the time of the International Exhibitions.
