This third Universal Fair, whose theme revolved around Agriculture, Arts and Industry, was held between May and November 1878 on both banks of the Seine. Spain focused its participation on both archeology and anthropology exhibitions and not by chance; The last years of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th were the years of historicism, a current that in its sculptural and architectural aspects sought to recover styles from the past, imitating them but endowing them with some new contemporary characteristic. The classical Greek temple, represented in this medal, together with the naked torso, the female figures, or the columns of Hercules, are a true reflection of the moment in which we find ourselves.

Work of the architect Jeroni Granell, the library was built between 1882 and 1884 with the intention of being a place of multidisciplinary learning, open and without exclusion to any type of citizen. It is therefore the clearest and probably the first example of a Catalan public library. Among its first collections, it is worth highlighting a good number of contributions made by the founder himself, Víctor Balaguer, a distinguished Spanish writer, journalist and politician and one of the outstanding figures of the so-called “Renaixenca”.

It is hard to believe that until just one year before, 1811, Russia and France were allies. The cooling of relations between the two nations gave way, after knowing the wishes of Tsar Alexander I to conquer Constantinople and the need to achieve a rapprochement with Great Britain, to a direct confrontation between the two superpowers that ended with a disastrous French defeat on Russian soil. On December 14, 1812, the withdrawal of the barely twenty-two thousand survivors of that “Grande Armée” was completed, leaving almost half a million soldiers between dead and prisoners along the way.
