INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 



INDUSTRY, SCIENCE, AND ART, IN 



HOBART TOWN (TASMANIA), 



1894-95. 



It has been decided to hold an International Exhibition 

 in Hobart during the Summer of 1894-95, and the Government 

 of Tasmania has been pleased to grant their Official Patronage 

 to the undertaking. 



The proposal has been taken up by the people of 

 Tasmania and the adjacent Colonies with such general 

 approval, that the necessary capital has been most readily 

 subscribed. 



The City of Hobart is most favourably situated. The 

 Colony of lasmania has a population of 150,000, and with the 

 neighbouring Colonies the total population numbers about 

 4,000,000 inhabitants. Launceston and other centres are 

 within a few hours by rail. The Australian Colonies are easy 

 of access by steam, and the tourists' routes to all places of 

 interest radiate from Hobart. 



The objects of the Exhibition are : — To promote and 

 foster Industry, wScience, and Art, by inciting the inventive 

 genius of our people to a further improvement in Arts and 

 Manufactures, as well as to stimulate commercial enterprise 

 by inviting all nations to exhibit their products, both in the raw 

 and finished state. Samples of the products for which this 

 and the other Australasian Colonies have become famous will 

 be exhibited with a view to increase the development of their 

 natural resources^ 



Similar and more varied exhibits may be expected from 

 Great Britain, the Continent of Europe, America, India, Canada, 

 the Cape, and other Colonies, to which the Government of 

 Tasmania have forwarded an official invitation to grant their 

 substantial support to the undertaking. 



A Fine Art Section will form an important and attractive 

 department of the Exhibition. For the accommodation of the 

 Art Treasures and Historical Objects a special block of the 

 building will be reserved, and the most ample precautions will 

 be taken for the security of valuable property lent for the 

 purposes of the Exhibition. 



Two Sections, viz., the Women's Industrial and the 

 Artisan Section, will be particular features. Special arrange- 

 ments will be made for the management of these.
