Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masterpieces of the Centennial International Exhibition, 1876, Vol. 1: Fine Art The government was so satisfied with the good effects resulting from this exhibition, that it resolved to hold them annually; but notwithstanding the Circular of the Minister of the Interior to this effect, the disturbed state of the country prevented a repetition until 1801. The First Consul taking the greatest interest in the affair, visited the factories and workshops of the principal towns in France, to convince the manufacturers of the great importance to themselves and their country of favoring the undertaking. A temporary building was erected in the quadrangle of the Louvre, and notwithstanding great difficulties attending the establishment of the exhibition, there were two hundred competitors for prizes; ten gold, twenty silver, and thirty bronze medals being awarded, - one of the last to Jacquard for his now famous loom. Among these prizes, were some for excellence in woollen and cotton fabrics, and improvements in the quality of wool as a raw material.
