The Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures at Dublin, 1864. Creator: Unknown
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur of The Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures at Dublin in 1864. The view of the Agricultural Hall at Earlsfort Terrace showcases a bustling display of goods, from delicate laces to sturdy tweeds, all housed within wooden partitions and large cases. Despite some architectural intrusions, such as a towering iron structure that once served as a lighthouse top, the hall exudes an air of elegance and industry.
The south aisle is filled with an array of items including harnesses, furniture, culinary apparatus, and ornate chimneypieces crafted from Irish and foreign marbles. Meanwhile, the galleries above boast exquisite examples of bookbinding, illuminations on vellum, photographs, carvings, embroidery, and more.
In the Shelburne-yard behind the Agricultural Hall lies a vast space dedicated to machinery - a testament to technological progress during this era. The north aisle has been transformed into a picture-gallery showcasing around five hundred paintings by talented artists.
This print not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a visual record of the creativity and innovation on display at this prestigious exhibition over 150 years ago.
