An exhibition organised by the Board of Trade Exhibitions Branch and held in the Musée des arts décoratifs, Palais du Louvre, Paris from April to October 1914.

" [Printed by the Arden Press, Letchworth, England, for the Stationery Office.].
Pages xix-cxc are various introductions to the exhibition and the classes of decorative arts exhibited, written by Walter Crane and others.
Tipped into the catalogue (p. xvi) was a postcard-size reproduction of the poster for the exhibition designed by Walter Crane and Graily Hewitt. [The sheet on which it was pasted has deteriorated and the reproduction is now in a conservation sleeve slipped into the catalogue.]
