THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION: DRESSING-CASE BY MESSRS. HOWELL, JAMES, AND CO., OF REGENT-STREET,1862 CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The International Exhibition: dressing-case by Messrs. Howell, James, and Co., of Regent-street, 1862. 'The exterior of the case is plain in appearance, being of dark polished wood...yet there is an elegance and unobtrusive refinement about the external aspect which are indicative of costliness and magnificence within. A looking-glass, surrounded by rich ornamental pierced and incised work, occupies the interior of the lid; a series of beautifully-cut bottles, mounted with gold set with small coral beads, occurs at the back of the case...and beneath are stored brushes with ivory backs, covered with pierced work, gilt and enriched with coral...From the front of the box a tray falls, filled with necessary knicnacks [sic] as button-hooks with malachite handles...The whole enrichments of the case are gilt, and are in the French Renaissance style; they are delicate and beautiful...But the peculiarity of the case consists in a mechanical contrivance by which the mere raising the lid brings about the spreading of the trays and the opening of the front...it is amusing and interesting, for the lid is constantly raised and lowered by clockwork; hence the case is alternately a mere box in appearance and the showy object which we delineate'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The International Exhibition: dressing-case by Messrs. Howell, James, and Co., of Regent-street,1862 Creator: Unknown.

SCENE FROM "OTHELLO" AT THE PRINCESS' THEATRE: THE TOWN AND HARBOUR OF CYPRUS, 1861. LONDON STAGE PRODUCTION: CHARLES FECHTER 'BLACKED UP' AS OTHELLO. THE SCENE, '...CYPRUS UNDER...A GRADUALLY ABATING STORM...PLACES THE SPECTATOR, AS IT WERE, ON A PLATFOR
Scene from "Othello" at the Princess' Theatre: the town and harbour of Cyprus, 1861. Creator: Smyth. Scene from "Othello" at the Princess' Theatre: the town and harbour of Cyprus, 1861. London stage production: Charles Fechter 'blacked up' as Othello. The scene, '...Cyprus under...a gradually abating storm...places the spectator, as it were, on a platform before the town, looking upon the harbour. Never were Mr. Telbin's skill and taste more beautifully shown than in this well-disposed pictorial set. [The set design includes]...a large arcade at the back of the scene, a gate on the right, and a capstan at the left comer, surrounded with bales of merchandise. These adjuncts enable the actors to shift from place to place, from the level to the platform, and from a sitting to an erect position, according to the proprieties of the action...lago sometimes in front, sometimes on the platform, sometimes on the capstan, conversing familiarly with Desdemona and Emilia...every change produces a different picture...Such adjuncts as these make the scene a pictorial composition. Such scenes, too, have another advantage-they are moving pictures...the English public owe a debt of thankfulness to M. Fechter for the care and attention which he has displayed in the practical application of the speculative improvements in the acting of Shakspearean drama.... From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
