Description
The Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company’s rapid growth in the early 20th century was driven in part by their expansion into the international market. Cambridge instruments were sold through agents such as the Parisian Pierre Breuil, who issued this advertising sheet promoting the wide variety of CSIC products available to French customers.
