The International Exhibition: British Guiana and Barbadoes Courts - from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, 1862. Display entered through an '...arch formed by the feathery grass-blades of the sugarcane...[On the right] is what may be called a statue of a negress in the conventional costume of the colony. Behind this is a collection of stuffed birds, embracing a number of specimens of the endless varieties which throng the river-colonies of Demerara, Berbice, and Essequibo...The grasses and fibres which grow in rich abundance in the colony are also exhibited, and many of them are shown as manipulated by the native Indians, or "Bucks," as they are familiarly called - a race fast dying out - especially in the shape of hammocks and baskets...on the left centre of the picture...[are] several glass shades beneath which are placed specimens of the flowers of the island, beautifully executed in wax...In another case will be found specimens in wax of the fruits of the island...and an excellent imitation of a section of the sugarcane...It may be as well to state that Barbadoes has always been a cotton-growing country, and, though the quantity produced is small, the quality has always been esteemed good'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
