Philadelphia: Thomas Hunte, 1876. viii pp. plus ground plan of exhibition and fifty-two color plates, each accompanied by a leaf of descriptive text (several of the description leaves contain building ground plans or additional text printed on verso).

Among the illustrations are several of the buildings… Read More
