The 1889 World Fair in Paris celebrated, for 6 months, 
the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution as well as
 the strength of France's national industry, under the 
auspices of the Republic and its colonial empire.  
The Eiffel Tower  was built for this World Fair, at which
 the newly-invented phonograph  was exhibited and demonstrated. 

This very rare book, in French,  by Constant Pierre, includes 
a remarkably detailed description (pp 193-212) of 
Henri Chaussier's Cor Omnitonique, the horn for 
which Saint-Saëns wrote his 'Morceau de Concert', Op.94, in 1887.
