The Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures and Industry at Dublin, 1864. View of the Agricultural Hall, Earlsfort Terrace. 'The central portion was divided from its smaller adjuncts by wooden partitions...The general appearance of the hall is, however, greatly marred by the erection of a number of large cases for the exhibition of goods, as well as by the intrusion of a huge iron structure, which is the top of a lighthouse...Here, and in a number of stalls fitted up under the galleries, are displayed...[poplins; delicate laces; calicoes and linens; woollen goods...good serviceable flannels and hose; tweeds]...The south aisle contains...harness and saddlery; furniture; culinary apparatus; a variety of ornaments and chimneypieces of Irish and foreign marbles...The articles in the galleries...include specimens of bookbinding, of illuminations upon vellum photographs, carvings, embroidery, embossing [etc]...In the rear of the Agricultural Hall, the space known as the Shelburne-yard, now covered with iron and glass, and inclosing an area of 22,000 square feet, has been appropriated to machinery. The north aisle has been set apart as a picture-gallery...The collection contains about five hundred pictures, many of which are works of the highest merit'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
