Les coulisses de l'exposition : guide pratique et anecdotique avec dessins, plans, cartes, etc., etc.

Debans, Camille, author · 1889 · Paris : Ernest Kolb, éditeur · 4 pictures

A practical and anecdotal guide to the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, written by Camille Debans and published in Paris by Ernest Kolb in 1889, aimed at visitors to the fair. Its four pictures are pen-and-ink views of the Porte du quai d'Orsay and the Dôme central, a general plan of the exhibition in four parts, and an ornate decorative tailpiece in black line; a designer could draw on the crisp hatching, the dense plan layouts, and the flourished ornament for period graphics.
