Preserving a picture of Europe's capitals before the devastation of modern-day bombing attacks, a series of six exhibits has been launched at Houghton Library by the Department of Printing and Graphic Arts. Old Paris is the subject of the first presentation, which went on display yesterday.
Outstanding among the books of the Paris exhibit is the "Cabinet du Rol," printed in the seventeenth century at the order of Louis XIV. These elaborate folios are a vivid record of the festivals, tournaments and state entries into the capital. The University possesses one of the few complete sets.
Following the Paris display, at two week intervals will come exhibits dealing with London, Rome, Vienna, Leningrad and Moscow shown together, and finally a group of the smaller capitals.
