PLAN OF THE PALACE AND PARK DESIGNED FOR THE PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1867, (1865). CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Plan of the Palace and Park designed for the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1867, (1865). 'Numerous workmen are occupied in inclosing the entire space [of the Champ de Mars] with a light wooden fence; surveyors and their assistants are busy taking levels and measuring and staking out the ground on which the Palace...is to be erected; and upwards of one hundred carts are engaged, day after day, in carting hither loads of earth to raise that portion of the Champ de Mars which adjoins the Seine to the level of the Quai d'Orsay, and to form the raised covered promenades that lead to the two main entrances...From the...official plan it will be seen that the entire space of the Champ de Mars, which measures upwards of 1000 English yards in length, by something like 500 yards in width, will be occupied by the palace and what may be called its dependencies. The palace...is to be of an oval form; and, to secure that double system of classification of the various articles exhibited, which it has been decided to adopt, and which will be unquestionably one of the most valuable features of the contemplated exhibition, possibly no other form presenting equal advantages to that of the circle or the oval could have been selected'.

FLORAL, MUSICAL, AND ATHLETIC FESTIVAL AT SPRINGFIELD PARK, LANCASTER, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Floral, Musical, and Athletic Festival at Springfield Park, Lancaster, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by John Holmes, of a cultural event. 'The park...kindly lent for the public enjoyment by Mrs. Ripley...is a fine level piece of ground, with an elevation leading up to Springfield Hall. On...the elevation, under the shade of some fine lofty trees, was the inclosure and pavilion for ladies. A little further to the south, under the shade of some fine umbrageous trees, was placed the tent for the flower show, while the refreshment and other tents were placed in different parts of the grounds round about...The whole of the first day was devoted to the flower show and a brass band contest; whilst the proceedings on the second day were of a miscellaneous character, consisting of contests in athletics, gymnastics, vocal music, and part-singing; the flower show also remained open. The object of the latter was to give the gentry and nurserymen of the town and neighbourhood an opportunity of displaying some of the produce of their gardens...and to encourage gardening among the working classes, and children, or inmates of hospitals, asylums, and workhouses, by awarding prizes for the best specimens of flowers, fruit, and vegetables'.

MOUNT EDGCUMBE, VISITED BY THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Mount Edgcumbe, visited by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, 1865. 'Mount Edgcumbe [in Cornwall] is one of the most beautiful places on the coast of the British Channel...The grounds of Mount Edgcumbe have been laid out and cultivated as an extensive park or pleasure-garden, abounding with the myrtle, the arbutus, the laurustinus, and other ornamental shrubs, mixed with various forest trees, and relieved by lawns and slopes of exquisite verdure. The mansion of the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe is a castellated building of red sandstone, in the Tudor style of architecture, erected by his ancestor, Sir Richard Edgcumbe, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth; but the towers at each angle of the edifice were added in the last century...The conservatory, 100 ft. in length; the great terrace, commanding a magnificent view; and the three gardens, English, French, and Italian, decorated with beautiful fountains, vases, statues, and busts, contribute to make this residence one of the most attractive belonging to any of our nobility or gentry...On the present occasion the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe had the honour of entertaining the Prince and Princess of Wales for three successive days'.

THE SWING, BY W. L. THOMAS, IN THE EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS, 1864. CREATOR: WILLIAM LUSON THOMAS.
The Swing, by W. L. Thomas, in the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1864. 'Mr. Thomas has rendered his drawing on wood too well for it to stand in need of verbal illustration. Of course the reader will see from the mallet and balls that the little lady has come into the garden to play croquet. Very likely she has already been roqueting and croqueting most successfully, and, having made the whole circuit of the hoops, has come to pass the interval till another game shall be commenced on the garden trapeze, on which, you see, she performs as fearlessly as a female Blondin...It is not easy to paint a figure being thus rapidly whisked through the air. To represent, for instance, drapery in motion, or, as it is called, "flying drapery," has always been recognised as a great difficulty in art...It would, however, be a great mistake to suppose that many artists who work on wood are not also painters. We need not refer to the number of Dutch masters who have left works on wood, seeing that a large proportion of the most eminent painters of the day are, or have been, employed as draughtsmen, and many of them as engravers of illustrations on wood for books and periodicals'.

GRAND FANCY BAZAAR AT ORLEANS HOUSE, TWICKENHAM, IN AID OF THE FRENCH SOCIÉTÉ DE BIENFAISANCE, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Grand fancy bazaar at Orleans House, Twickenham, in aid of the French Société de Bienfaisance, 1864. This society was formed in 1812...for the purpose of affording relief to unfortunate Frenchmen in London, without distinction of religious faith or political opinion...The existing president of the society is the Duke d'Aumale [owner of Orleans House]. The society allows weekly payments in money, clothing, and food, and grants passage-money to those French subjects who are desirous of returning to their country; it also advances money to those who wish to exercise their profession or trade in England. The society has already distributed more than £12,000 sterling...The stalls were held by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Chartres, her Royal Highness the Duchess d'Aumale, the Duchess of St. Albans, the Marchioness of Ely, the Countess of Tankerville, the Countess of Waldegrave, and Lady Proby. An elegant marquee had been erected on the lawn in front of the house, with tricolour oriflammes, which also lined the road up to the grounds. The chief attraction was the stall of the Duchess d'Aumale, where the venerable Queen Amelie remained for some time. The weather was pleasant, and a numerous concourse of visitors enjoyed this lively scene'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

FETE GIVEN BY THE PRINCE IMPERIAL TO POOR CHILDREN OF PARIS IN THE TUILERIES GARDENS, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Fete given by the Prince Imperial to poor children of Paris in the Tuileries Gardens, 1864. 'The officials of the Emperor's household had caused provision to be made for the gratification of a large number of visitors, both old and young. A long line of tables, spread with white damask, with store of cakes and wine upon them, extended in front of the terrace...The waiters in attendance were servants in the Imperial livery, with the addition of a few soldiers...There were various amusements, such as an exhibition of tightrope performances, merry-go-rounds, puppet- shows, Punch and Judy (in the French version of Polichinelle)...This pleasant scene of popular festivity beneath the stately trees of the palace gardens is portrayed in our Engraving...The Emperor, the Empress, and Princess Clotilde were present, walking quietly through the crowd. The little Prince remained there for nearly two hours. The gardens were, of course, full of people, though a charge of 5f. was imposed for their admission by ticket, and none were allowed to enter without leading some children by the hand. The money raised by this means must have brought a considerable augmentation to the funds of the Children's Loan Society'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

PALACE OF THE LATE KING OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS AT HONOLULU, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Palace of the late King of the Sandwich Islands at Honolulu, 1864. 'We have lately heard much of a growing civilisation and Christianity in that important group of islands which forms a half-way station between America and Asia, in the North Pacific Ocean. The young King, whose untimely death is now lamented by all who feel an interest in the moral and intellectual progress of the Hawaiian race or in the political independence of the Sandwich Islands, was indeed a fine fellow, with the mind and manners of an English gentleman...Kamehameha IV...died in the palace of Honolulu, on Nov. 30. On the Sunday following, in the church, hung with black, Bishop Staley preached his funeral sermon, which was printed at full length in the native Hawaiian newspaper. The King's body, dressed in military uniform, lay in state for many hours, in a room lit by funeral candles, where stood the widowed Queen, the Queen Dowager, the Princess Royal, and all the great personages of the Court; while thousands of the people, thronging to the palace as soon as the news of this national calamity had reached them, were admitted by turns to look upon their deceased monarch and to cry aloud with the voice of mourning for his loss. Such is the custom of the country'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Palace of the late King of the Sandwich Islands at Honolulu, 1864. Creator: Unknown.

FREE OPENING OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE LATE..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Free opening of the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens on the anniversary of the late Prince Consort's birthday, 1864. '...the Horticultural Gardens at South Kensington, of which his Royal Highness was the founder, were opened to the public for the first time free of charge...it was estimated that not less than 120,000 people visited them in the course of the day...the vast crowd, composed of all classes, but especially of the middle and lower, with a large proportion of children, appeared thoroughly to enjoy themselves...scarcely any restriction was placed upon the visitors, who were free to go where they pleased...The pupils of several schools, that of the Duke of York among the rest, went in procession with their banners and bands, for which they had the express permission of the council. Other bands were stationed at various parts of the gardens, and played at intervals during the day. A body of metropolitan police were in attendance, but were so distributed over the grounds as to appear as little obtrusive as possible...the Old Hundredth Psalm, with a hymn composed by the Prince Consort, and the National Anthem, were sung with fine effect by the visitors on the upper terrace, the singing being led by trumpeters'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Free opening of the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens on the anniversary of the late..., 1864. Creator: Unknown.
