So after spending 70 odd days at the cotton exhibition we may need a day or two at the 1911 International Hygiene Exhibition. Dresden, Germany was the lucky town that hosted this gem.
I had to do some digging to come up with any real details about this celebration. Thank god that many newspapers are digitally archived. Still, who would archive this?
Anyway, the Hungarians had quite an exhibit it seems. They showed off the hygiene quality in their public school system, demonstrations of sewage works and had a working slaughterhouse.
The Chinese showed off preserved fruit. Apparently it was cheap.
The Austrian pavilion featured something called "electro-hygeine." Hmmmmm.
Wonder where all the exhibits went after the show?
