Légende
The Exhibition of Cartoons in Westminster Hall, 1845. Art show in the medieval hall at the Palace of Westminster in London. '...a general view of the Hall, the Frescoes of [Daniel] Maclise and [Charles West] Cope in the foreground...this National Exhibition was opened gratuitously to the public, and thousands have since availed themselves of the privilege...The Cartoons, Coloured Sketches, and Frescoes are ranged upon the south wall, and upon the screen raised at a short distance from the north wall...The old walls are literally "gay with life and colour." The Statues are arranged better than last year; the figures of the double line face inwards, having their backs turned to the Cartoons on the walls, so that the Hall is divided into three aisles, and the spectators, in examining the Sculpture, are separated from the greater number who linger by the Cartoons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
