Description
Since the first world fair held in London in 1851. Hungarian exhibitors have been present at almost every similar exhibition, reaping one success after another In this sumptuously illustrated book Vilmos Gål shows how the achievements of Hungarian participants over the last 150 years outline the cultural, industrial and agricultural development of the country. The volume draws on ministerial reports, catalogues, reviews from the samtemporary press, and objects and documents in Hungarian museums with material related to the world fairs. Eminently readable, it is bristling with infirmation about the thae and applied arts, science and technology, the most outstanding pieces of architecture, and describes the main events, people, and new products
A diurving, intoxicating spectacle, surpassing all expectations. One does not know what to look at, where to begin, and doubts whether one will ever be able to view all this! A vast church of objets d'art, industry and products of the world.
(Antal Csengery, 1851)
