Lyon à l'Exposition universelle de 1889

Storck, Adrien, Martin, Henri, A. Lumière & fils · 1890 · [Lyon?] : A. Storck, imprimeur-éditeur · 12 pictures

A French illustrated book of 1890, printed and published in Lyon by Adrien Storck, documenting the city's exhibits at the Exposition universelle of 1889 in Paris, aimed at trade and visitors interested in Lyon's silk industry. The pictures are monochrome line engravings on cream paper: botanical studies of flowers and grasses, which a designer could draw on for pattern motifs, and a panoramic view of a Lyon exhibition building, showing the scale of the fair.
