Near fine.<br/><br/>A very rare original game of the famous 1889 World's Exhibition in Paris which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille an event considered symbolic of the beginning of the French Revolution. The fair included a reconstruction of the Bastille and its surrounding neighborhood but with the interior courtyard covered with a blue ceiling decorated with fleur-de-lys and used as a ball room and gathering place.<br/><br/>The main symbol of the Fair was the Eiffel Tower which served as the entrance arch to the Fair. Since the lifts had not been completed when the Exposition opened the first visitors had to walk up to the second floor platform. Workers had worked through the night the day before the exhibition opened to complete the necessary construction needed to safely allow patrons to set foot upon the structure. When speaking of the dedicated workers M. Salles the son-in-law of Eiffel made the statement that "no soldier on the battle field deserved better mention than these humble toilers who will never go down in history. unknown books

Engraved title-page engraved explanation of plates with pasted overslip adding a description of plate 6 and 6 engraved plates some staining to title-page and margins of plates. Contemporary marbled paper wrappers worn; cloth folding case. The plans and drawings illustrating the public festivities held in Paris to celebrate the TREATY OF AIX-LA-CHAPELLE on 12 February 1749. The treaty signed on 18 October 1748 was mainly a diplomatic agreement between Britain and France but it also marked the end of the War of Austrian Succession. Although the celebration called for fireworks at the Place de l'Hotel de Ville with numerous orchestras playing and buffets set up around the city the affair was rather gloomy due to French resentment over the terms of the treaty.
