The Industrial and Agricultural Exhibition at Coimbatore, Madras Presidency, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Industrial and Agricultural Exhibition at Coimbatore, Madras Presidency, South India, 1857. The magnificent example of the Great Exhibition of 1851 appears to have reached every portion of the civilised world; and in many distant lands to have been nobly imitated...The principal building was...a complete cocoanut palace. The pillars that supported the building were the stems of the tree, and the roof and walls were composed of its leaves. At one end of the building was a long dais, in which the Europeans and the better class of natives were collected. This was adorned in the most gorgeous Oriental style...The Exhibition lasted four days. Three days the crowd had admission, and the fourth day was devoted to the native ladies, whose prejudices will not allow of their appearing in public'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image hails from the "Illustrated London News" and depicts the Industrial and Agricultural Exhibition held in Coimbatore, Madras Presidency, South India, in 1857. The caption reads, "The magnificent example of the Great Exhibition of 1851 appears to have reached every portion of the civilized world; and in many distant lands to have been nobly imitated." The principal building of the exhibition is a stunning example of local architecture, with the stems of the cocoanut trees serving as pillars and the leaves forming the roof and walls. The European and native elites are gathered on a long dais at one end of the building, adorned in the most gorgeous Oriental style. The Exhibition lasted for four days, with the first three open to the public and the fourth reserved for native ladies, whose cultural sensitivities did not permit their appearance in public. The image captures the excitement and energy of the event, with a crowd of onlookers gathered around the entrance, flags flying high, and an elephant adding to the exotic allure of the scene. This wood engraving is a testament to the cultural exchange and global influence of the 19th century, and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
