   • 1896, Henry James, Glasses:

     It befell at this period, just before Christmas, that on my having gone under pressure of the season into a great shop to buy a toy or two, my eye, fleeing from superfluity, lighted at a distance on the bright concretion of Flora Saunt, an exhibitability that held its own even against the most plausible pinkness of the most developed dolls.

   • 2012, Chris Caple, Conservation Skills: Judgement, Method and Decision Making:

     The value of an object to the museum, or owner, through the factors of its exhibitability (aesthetic entity) and how informative it can be (historic document), needs to be included within the calculation of the impact of potential object loss.
