Exposition universelle de 1878 à Paris : manuel de la section des Indes Britanniques
A guide to the British India section of the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle, compiled by George Birdwood for the Royal Commission and published in London and Paris. Its plates show decorative ornament, friezes, and architectural details drawn for craftspeople and visitors, and the pages of the set are numbered and labelled as plates. The pictures are rows of carved and painted ornament, including interlaced bands, medallions, and capitals, offering a designer a dense reference for historical ornamental patterns and border motifs.
