The International Exhibition: tapestries of Gobelins and Beauvais, and china of Sevres, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: tapestries of Gobelins and Beauvais, and china of Sevres, 1862. The large central tapestry, "The Assumption of the Virgin, " after Titian; the tapestry immediately to its right, containing the portrait of Louis XIV. of France; and the two carpets are from Gobelins; and the other tapestries are from Beauvais. It is difficult, if not impossible, to say which are best, as the productions of both factories are of unrivalled merit. The china of Sevres is as celebrated as the tapestries, and some of the greatest efforts of the celebrated imperial pottery are here set forth - the new colours, the enamels, and the paintings being of the highest excellence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken during The International Exhibition of 1862, showcases an impressive display of tapestries from the Gobelins and Beauvais factories, as well as exquisite china from Sevres. The large central tapestry, titled 'The Assumption of the Virgin,' is a masterpiece after Titian, while the tapestry to its right features the portrait of King Louis XIV of France. Both factories produced unparalleled works of art, making it challenging to choose a favorite. The china of Sevres is equally renowned, and this exhibition showcases some of its greatest achievements, including new colors, enamels, and paintings of the highest caliber. The tapestries, with their intricate designs and vibrant colors, are displayed indoors, adding to the interior decor and design of the exhibition space. The crinolines and hoopskirts of the women in attendance add to the fashionable atmosphere of the day out or day trip to the cultural event. This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the 19th century, showcasing the industrial prowess of Britain during this period.
