The Nottingham and Midland Counties Industrial Exhibition, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. John Burton and Sons. 'The contents of this exhibition are, in a great measure, the product of the ingenuity and taste of the working men of Nottingham, who have, in their leisure hours, employed themselves in constructing models and various specimens of art...it is to be hoped that the experiment will be justified, in a pecuniary sense, by the amount of public support bestowed on the exhibition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. The Nottingham and Midland Counties Industrial Exhibition, 1865. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
