Verne’s visit to the Universal Exhibition of 1867 played a role in the novelist’s imaginary. Beyond this momentary encounter between Verne’s imagination and new technologies, the string of world’s fairs in the nineteenth century bear witness to a vision of peoples and cultures that also reflects the development of anthropology. Here we contemplate some of the ethological concepts at play in the universal exhibitions and in Verneian narratives.
