Guide-album illustré de l'Exposition universelle Bruxelles-Tervueren 1897
An 1897 illustrated guide album published in Brussels by Claes for the Brussels-Tervueren international exhibition, aimed at visitors to the fair. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of theatre and hall interiors and a building facade, several printed sideways and labelled with French place names such as Orchestre and Proscenium. A designer could take from them the tiered seating plans, arched colonnades and dense stacked-box layouts that suggest a crowded exhibition-hall view.
