Légende

The International Exhibition - ornamental iron gates in the Hardware Court, by W. Baily and Sons, 1862. 'In design they are simple, consisting of light pillars and ornamental gates, which rise in the centre to a considerable height, being bounded by carved lines. From the pillars are suspended lamps pendent from curved supports, which are judiciously united with the columns in such a manner as to give a sense of security. These are fine specimens of ironfounding, and in view of their workmanship do their producers much credit'. The International Exhibition of 1862 was a world's fair held from 1 May to 1 November 1862 in South Kensington, London. The site now houses museums including the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
