The Turkish Exhibition and Museum, Hyde-Park-Corner - a Turkish Dinner Party, 1854. Tableau of waxworks representing 'a choice party of "regular Turks" squatting at the dinner-table [displayed by] '...Messrs. Oscanyan and Aznavour, the enterprising managers...of an Oriental Museum - being a collection of Turkish costumes, armour, figures, &c., illustrative both of the political institutions and social habits of the Osmanli nation...The apartment in which it is held is the St. George's Gallery [in London]...The spectator, however, will be even still more struck with the admirable character thrown into the countenances and figures; every one of which appears to be a distinct and individual study. Their execution, in wax, by Mr. James Boggi...is entitled to the highest praise'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
