Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 16.25 x 9, November 19, 1866. Johnson appoints D. M. Leatherman of Tennessee to “be a Commissioner on the part of the United States, to the Universal Exhibition to be held at Paris in 1867.” Signed at the conclusion by Johnson, and countersigned by Secretary of State William Seward. Archivally double matted and framed with a seated portrait and a name plaque to an overall size of 28.5 x 15. In very good condition, with a couple partial separations and small areas of paper loss along intersecting folds, a uniform shade of overall toning, a bit lighter to left edge, and a few creases, including a couple under signature. The white seal is extremely bright and crisp.
The 1867 Paris World Exposition featured participants from 41 countries with 52,000 individual exhibitors—nearly 16,000 of whom came from France. Exhibits focused on the theme ‘The History of Labour’ with furniture displays being prominent. Walking just once through a huge oval in the exhibition palace, it was possible to see all the products of a nation or of one type. In the park around the exhibition palace, the nations of the world erected their own pavilions for the first time. Artistic water spectacles were presented and stalls and foreign restaurants and cafes were erected, giving the public the opportunity to relax after the exhausting tour round the mammoth show in the exhibition palace. This World Exhibition was also a great success on the diplomatic front and was visited by almost all the aristocracy of Europe.
