Reports on the Paris Universal Exhibition, 1867 : presented to both houses of Parliament by command of Her Majesty
An official British government report to Parliament, published in London in 1868 by the Royal Commission for the Paris Exhibition of 1867, documenting British exhibits at the Paris Universal Exhibition for Parliament and the public. The plates are line drawings of machinery and apparatus: a large geared engine frame with flywheels, a clock-like instrument case with a pendulum or dial, a toothed wheel with lever arms, and a surgical or scientific tool with a curved rod and fitting. Designers could take from them the precise, schematic line style of nineteenth-century engineering diagrams, with clean outlines, hatching and labelled parts.
