The International Exhibition: floorcloth, by Messrs. Hare and Co. of Bristol, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: floorcloth, by Messrs. Hare and Co. of Bristol, 1862. The laws which govern the decoration of the floor, and of horizontal surfaces generally, have been considered in our articles on carpets, and they may be regarded as practically carried out in the floorcloth which we now engrave. Hence it seems to us worthy of special notice, for this work consists of an agreeable arrangement of simple ornamental forms, coloured in a manner which at once makes it suitable for its intended position. The honourable firm which has produced it is well known as taking the lead in this particular manufacture, and its success is probably attributable to the liberality of the principals to those whom they employ, and the friendship which has thus been engendered between the masters and workpeople'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts The International Exhibition: floorcloth, created by Messrs. Hare and Co. of Bristol in 1862. The floorcloth, a decorative floor covering, is showcased as an exemplary representation of the principles governing the adornment of floors and horizontal surfaces. The article from Illustrated London News praises the firm for its innovative work in this area, attributing its success to the supportive environment fostered between the masters and workpeople. The floorcloth is adorned with a pleasing arrangement of geometric shapes, colored in a manner suitable for its intended indoor setting. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as the Great London Exposition, was a significant cultural event that showcased the latest advancements in art, design, and industry from around the world. This floorcloth, with its intricate pattern and elegant design, was a standout piece among the many exhibits. The print, engraved from the original, offers a glimpse into the decorative trends of the nineteenth century and the role of the press in documenting and disseminating information about the latest artistic creations.
