Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 129 Measured by the standard of what the United States might and doubtless would have done had Congress accepted the invitation of the French Government at the proper time, our demonstration at Paris in 1878 was but a relative one, and insufficient to give to ´Europeans a correct idea of the great natural resources and industrial progress of our country, so impressively shown at the Centennial Exhibition. Judged, however, by the exhibits of other nations, made under favorable circumstances, and by the range and results of our participation in former foreign Expositions, the success of our exhibitors at Paris was positive, substantial, and remarkable. In the amount of space occupied, but four nations were in advance of the United States - France, England, Belgium, and Austria; but by no other country was so much material crowded within equal limits. Every foot of the area appropriated to the United States in the Mam Building, the Art Gallery, and the Agriculture annex, was made use of, and it was admitted on all sides that the exhibits were uniformly good and attractively presented. The bulk of material from the United States was twice as great as that sent to Paris in 1867, or to Vienna in 1873.
