Bound in 2 vols.: 1 vol. containing reminiscences in a very legible hand consisting of 125 lvs. and 1 supplementary vol. containing wood-engr. cut out illustrations (many double-p.) of exhibits, social events, etc., all related to the Vienna Exhibition, for the greater part cold. by hand.

The manuscript is divided in two chapters, the first being a travel account from Paris to Vienna, the second a description of the Exhibition grounds. As becomes clear from a list of exhibitors, published by the 'Commissariat Général' in 1873, Audéoud represented France and exhibited slide rules at the Vienna World Exhibtion. As can be read in his 'voyage' he also had a keen eye for the arts in the places he visits.€ 200
