[Algeria- Paris Exposition] "NOTICE SUR LES BEAUX-ARTS ET LES PARFUMS" 
[Paris] Gojosso et cie: 1878.

An interesting booklet discussing the fine arts and perfumes at the Paris
Exposition of 1878 as they related to Algeria. The essays are signed by
“O. MacCarthy”, and although the booklet has the imprint “Alger” on the
cover and title page, it was actually printed at the “pres l’Exposition”
on the Boulevard de la Republique for Gojosso et cie. Gojosso et cie
appear to have been the publishers of a variety of promotional material in
France for the Algerian authorities in the 1870s and 1880s, and the rear
cover of this booklet is an announcement by the “Gouvernement General
Civil de l’Algerie” promoting colonization and agriculture and inviting
interested parties to write for more information. It was during this
period that the French government, having invaded Algeria in 1830 and only
just taken full control of the country, was making a strong effort to send
French settlers to Algeria. Scarce- OCLC locates only 2 copies.

Softcover. 6”x8.25”, 15 pages; publisher’s pink paper covers; covers a bit
soiled, corner creased, etc., but overall a nice copy of a fragile
booklet. [30605]  $150.00
