Waring, J. B. (John Burley)

Masterpieces of Industrial Art & Sculpture at the International Exhibition 1862

Size: 44 x 32 cm (17.3 x 12.5 inches)

This is an illustrated collection of more than 1,000 fine objects presented at the 1862 International Exhibition, pictured here in large-format chromolithography and offered in imposing bindings almost enveloped with gold. Among the many works of fine, decorative, and industrial arts are fabrics, rugs, jewelry, ceramics, glassware, sculptures, furniture, plates, silver, wallpaper designs, and many other (sometimes magnificent) works. The plates were chromolithographed by and under the direction of W. R. Tymms, A. Warren, and G. MacCulloch from photographs supplied by the London Photographic and Stereoscopic Company, taken exclusively for this work by Stephen Thompson. Architect and painter John Burley Waring (1825-75) selected the items for inclusion and has described each (in English and French) as well as provided details about the Published by Day and Son, 1863. Folio, Chromolithograph title page and 101 Chromolithograph plates, Plate no 201 to 300. artists and artisans.

The International Exhibition of 1862 was sponsored by the Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Trade, and featured over 28,000 exhibitors from 36 countries, representing a wide range of industry, technology, and the arts. It attracted about 6.1 million visitors.
