Oblong folio 9.5 x 15.5 cm. 34 samples in different colours several embossed in various patterns in wrappers of the same material. = A fine example of a velvet paper sample booklet showing the work of the Keller-Dorian firm in Lyon. Albert Keller-Dorian ran custom fabric-engraving plants in Mulhouse and in Lyon. He is best known for The Keller-Dorian process an additive colour process invented and patented by the French physicist Rodolphe Berthon in 1908. In this catalogue the leaves are numbered stamps a few on a label on versos but in no particular order. "The first mention of the Keller-Dorian company metal engravers located at 19 Chemin Saint-Eusèbe on the corner of Rue de l'Espérance in Lyon appears in the Fournier directory of 1895. In 1897 the Keller-Dorian company still specialized in metal engraving and also manufactured fancy paper at the same address at number 17. From 1901 onwards this dual activity was separated: metal engraving remained at number 19 and paper manufacturing moved to an extension at 15-17 Chemin Saint-Eusèbe also in Lyon adjacent to the engraving workshop. This company was the only one in France to manufacture multi-colored fancy paper. The head office was founded in Mulhouse in 1825. The Keller-Dorian family were originally wood and metal engravers for printing on silk and cotton of all kinds dresses furniture scarves specializing in embossing crepe and moiré" Halitim-Dubois.

Between the 1890s and the 1930s Japanese silk exports quadrupled making Japan the largest silk exporter in the world.

Local state and federal funds totaling $15 million were used to finance the event. More than 60 countries and 43 of the then 45 American states maintained exhibition spaces at the fair which was attended by nearly 19.7 million people" Wikipedia. It was by far the most important world fair before WWI." The Japanese government spent lavishly: $400000 plus $50000 from the Japanese colonial government of Formosa with an additional $250000 coming from Japanese commercial interests and regional governments".
