1862100967AParis & London Mai 1862. 8vo. 182 x 120 cm. 31 pp. Illustrated with woodcuts including 2 full-page.<br /><br /><b>Published for the London World Fair 1862 </b>with map of the exibition halls on the inside front cover. The "Expositions Universelles" or World Fairs were intended to show the latest innovations and inventions. The earliest of these fairs were held in France but were national. The first one of 1798 was the start of eleven national fairs. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Callebaut shows different models and explains the technqiue of them. Both full page illustrations of the factory show us what factories looked like at the time. At the 1862 exhibition about 50 types of sewing machine were on show on over 20 stands. M. Callebaut from Paris showed 'several modifications of shuttle sewing machines of the Singer type.' Callebaut was the Singer licencee in France the only occasion on which the Singer Co granted a licence rather than manufacturing itself. Callebaut patented these modifications in France and Britain in his own name. Most of them apply to the Singer No. 2 machine and enabled it to have a reversible wheel feed for finishing seams and to produce a 'herring-bone stitch' zigzag by moving the top feed presser foot from side to side. Another machine had twin needles on the same needle bar for making two lines of stitches on the top side and a zigzag on the underneath with a single shuttle thread. Not content with all these variants M Callebaut exhibited some glove making machines of fearsome complexity using detached lengths of thread!

181952180Portland OR: n.p. July 18 1902. One panoramic silver gelatin photograph printed on matte finish thick photographic stock sized 8 x 24 in. preserved in the original dark stained wood frame sized 10.25 x 26.5 in. with very faint title inscription in white ink below image in clear cursive hand very minor damage & loss to the very lower right corner of image still VG copy expertly cleaned with new archival backing. This exceedingly scarce original photograph records the site selection inspection by the Lewis & Clark Exposition Board of Directors July 18 1902 the day after the Site Subcommittee had recommended on July 17 1902 that the Board choose City Park for the Exposition site. In fact many different sites were proposed at the meeting including Henry Corbett’s preference for City park while the Ladd interests advocated for a site along Hawthorne Boulevard. Nonetheless the Board adjourned into executive session and as a result of a last minute proposal by Henry Dosch it decided that they would examine the Guild’s Lake site in detail as evidenced by this photograph showing the several board members standing upon the Electric Railway line tracks on the Willamette Heights next to the land proposed for development by the Scottish-American Investment Company. When the Board reconvened after an August hiatus the vote was 6-2 in favor of Guild’s Lake. Robert Livingstone who owned the Scottish-American Investment Company set about with his real estate development partners Russell & Blyth to build a group of Arts & Crafts homes designed by Emil Schacht in the Willamette Heights subdivision which would inspire Portland residential architecture in the decades following the Exposition. Peter Guild 1797-1870 led his family over the Oregon Trail in 1847 lost a herd of cattle to the Oregon Territorial militia during the Cayuse Indian War and eventually homesteaded on Guild’s Lake constructing a large octagon block house which proved to be a very popular Public House and later the site for the 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition.

From the New Georgia Encyclopedia:<br /> <br /> Atlanta held its first exposition named the International Cotton Exposition in Oglethorpe Park in 1881. The city then had fewer than 40000 residents and the primary sense in which the first exposition was “international†was the display of cotton plants from around the world. Nevertheless Atlantans were eager to host the 1881 exposition to promote investment and to help the city toward its goal of becoming an industrial center which was a primary component of Grady’s “New South†concept. Although attendance was lower than expected fewer than 200000 in paid attendance during its two-and-a-half-month run city leaders demonstrated that they could work together to host a major event and that Atlanta was serious about its role in textile production at a time when the North was beginning to grow dissatisfied with the efficiency of southern cotton processing. The exposition displayed new crop planters and cotton seed cleaners along with a model of Eli Whitney’s original cotton gin and speakers addressed the crowds about agricultural technology and political reforms.
