The circle of knowledge; encyclopaedias past and… by James M. Wells
An exhibition in 1968 to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the founding of the Encyclopedia Britannica.in 1768. 1968 was when I purchased my first EB, and one of the options the salesman gave me was a replica of the very first EB, which I thought was pretty cool.
