EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous occasion in the 19th century, as operatives from Messers Horrocks, Miller, and Company gather for a grand dinner in Manchester. The event took place during their visit to the Art-Treasures Exhibition, adding an air of sophistication and cultural appreciation to the festivities. The scene is set within an opulent dining hall adorned with elegant chandeliers and ornate decorations. The long banquet table stretches across the room, beautifully laid out with fine china and sparkling glassware. Operatives dressed in their finest attire are seated around the table, engaging in lively conversation while enjoying a sumptuous meal. This image not only showcases the lavishness of this particular dinner but also highlights the importance placed on art and culture during this era. It serves as a testament to the growing interest in artistic endeavors among both working-class individuals and prominent companies like Messers Horrocks, Miller & Company. The engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on September 12th, 1857 - a publication known for its dedication to showcasing important events through detailed illustrations. Today, it remains an invaluable piece of historical documentation that offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with art treasures exhibitions and their desire to celebrate such occasions with grandeur.
