Shilling Day at the International Exhibition, 1862
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Mason Jackson, depicting the bustling scene of a Shilling Day at the Great London Exposition of 1862. The International Exhibition, held in South Kensington, London, was a world's fair showcasing the latest advancements in art, industry, and technology from around the world. In this image, we see a diverse crowd of people, including children and sailors, gathered around a textile mill display. The mill, powered by steam, is a symbol of the Industrial Revolution and the textile industry's progress. The looms, driven by a drive belt, are in operation, weaving flax into fabric. The sailors, dressed in their nautical attire, likely represent the trade connections that were an essential part of the international exchange of goods and ideas. The print, originally published in the Illustrated London News, captures the excitement and energy of the Shilling Day, when the general public was granted admission to the exhibition for a shilling fee. The event provided an opportunity for the working and middle classes to witness firsthand the cultural, artistic, and industrial achievements of their time. The intricate details of the machinery, the people, and the building architecture in this engraving offer a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social and cultural climate of the 19th century. This print is a testament to the power of art and journalism in documenting history and preserving the memories of significant events for future generations.
