The International Exhibition: carpet by Woodward Brothers and Co. 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: carpet by Woodward Brothers and Co. 1862. The carpet which we engrave...is an excellent illustration of a true treatment of a floor-covering. In general setting-out this carpet is good, and, as engraved, the border bears a very just relation to the centre and to the size of the whole, and the various parts of the border are of such widths as agreeably combine; but our Engraving does not exactly represent the work as it appears in the exhibition, where a second and wider border appears to have been been sewn round the whole by mistake. This being removed, the work appears as it is drawn, and is in many respects all that could be desired. The central ornament is simple in the arrangement of its parts, and is well composed. The field consists of a small geometrical pattern which is very happy in the arrangement of its parts, and is effective and pleasing, each member being well made out and individualised, and at the same time bearing a pleasing relation to the other forms; and the border is made up of geometrical shapes, which are filled with conventional foliaceous forms. In colour this carpet is retiring and simple - red, green, low-toned yellow, and blue prevailing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning carpet, showcased at The International Exhibition in 1862, is a masterpiece of intricate design and vibrant colors created by the Woodward Brothers and Co. The carpet's border, as depicted in this photograph from the Illustrated London News, is a harmonious blend of various widths and shapes, framing the central ornament with great effect. The central design is simple yet elegant, with well-composed parts that are both individualized and pleasing in their relation to one another. The field of the carpet features a small, geometric pattern that is effective in its arrangement and execution, with each form standing out distinctly while maintaining a cohesive relationship with the others. The border, filled with conventional foliaceous forms, adds an additional layer of visual interest to the carpet. In terms of color, the carpet is understated and serene, with red, green, low-toned yellow, and blue hues dominating the design. Although the photograph does not exactly represent the original piece as it was displayed at the exhibition, with an extra border mistakenly added, the carpet remains an impressive example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Woodward Brothers and Co. during this period.
