Amsterdam International Exhibition, 1883. 'After a long and protracted sitting of the Class, Superior and Revising Juries, their labours have at length been brought to a close, and the official declaration of awards was made in the Palais de l'Industrie...In the English Section we notice that Messrs. ATKINSON and PHILIPSON...have received a Silver Medal. This pleasing proof of impartiality is but a just estimate of the value of their work. The specimens contributed by Messrs A. and P. are suggestive of the perfection to which the leading English Builders have attained in their art, and are a pretty conclusive reply to the assertion that the English are inferior to their Continental brethren. The illustration gives an idea of the ANGULAR BROUGHAM and the CANOE LANDAU...faultless in design and workmanship. An ingenious piece of work that has been very much admired is the introduction of cloth and lush in the lining of the Brougham in high art style, old gold and olive green...The Landau is a splendidly finished vehicle, richly-painted claret relieved with vermilion and silver mountings. Crocodile leather is the principal material used in the lining. The cushions, backs and doors are squabbed with this leather, which is bordered with Greek lace'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
