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.
