Description:
The 1862 International Exhibition was a world’s fair held in South Kensington, London of which attracted 6.1 million visitors. J B Waring, known architect and draftsman, was superintendent of the architectural gallery and of the classes for furniture, earthenware, and glass, goldsmiths' work and jewellery, and objects used in architecture. Out of this, Waring produced a 300 plate book of lithographs of these items found at the exhibition. Each work was created by a different artist but all lithographed through Day & Son, ‘lithographers to the queen’. Day & Son was originally the partnership of William Day and the Belgium artist and lithographer, Haghe, but later got its name when Haghe was replaced by William Simpson. This work was not printed though in William Day’s lifetime. Rather, it was one of the later works printed by his son who took over the business, shortly before its failing in 1867.
