The World’s Fair

Image of the official logo of The Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1867. Surrounding those words, which are at the centre, is a variety of very detailed sketched images which mirror each other on the left and right sides. In the centre is an eagle wearing a crown and from that are a serious a scrolling leaves and flower blossoms. Overtop are two dragons with featured wings. Next to the dragons, towards the centre are two winged cherubs each holding a staff. At the centre of the image at the top is a ship with a royal coat-of-arms on its sails. The same scrolling floral design is carried throughout the design surrounding each of the individual images described.
