Hi Rod.
Your "Lyon Fair not dated" is from 1916 (the first edition)
Here is another version

Hi Vayolene, tops! Thank you.
Makes it the FIRST EVER Lyon Trade Fair.

The creation of the Foire de Lyon began in 1916 through an initiative by then mayor Édouard Herriot. He decided to build a vast "Palace" to accommodate the commercial stalls that were crowding the quays and streets, and impeding traffic flow in the area. The Fair Palace was built from 1918 to 1938 on land located between the Rhône and Parc de la Tête d'Or.[1] Subsequent construction did not adhere to the original plan.[2] The buildings of the Fair Palace were ultimately destroyed to make room for the Cité Internationale, leaving only the main façade of the central pavilion, now integrated into the Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon. In 1985 the fair was moved to the Eurexpo convention center in the commune of Chassieu, east of the Metropolis of Lyon.

But they are here, anyway, for the record.

A few pages I am working on. 1954, 1957 and 1958. Hoping to complete some pages after the new year.

Finally completed this 1951 French page. Always feels good when you complete a page.

Indeed.
I always like to see collections with selvedge preserved.
Well done.

a few early Emperor Napoleon III I have been working on. Not shown here I have acquired my first 2 Ceres from 1849-50 and 1 President Louis N 1852 ; however the page looked so bare I decided not to share. Color is always challenging for me - and of course, scanners or pictures are not always accurate - but I have tried my hardest - if I am off that is ok I enjoy the process. It might sound strange - but I feel like each of my country albums set a tone (or inspire a certain feeling). France is stoic/proud, elegant and graceful.

Very lovely. Someday I will try to add to my French collection.

Thank you Nicholas:

I always enjoy seeing all of your lovely pages as well.
