EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures the intricate painted decorations created by T. Kershaw of Baker-street for the International Exhibition held in London in 1862. The decorations, showcased in the Illustrated London News, were highly praised for their harmonious color palette and satisfactory character. The strapwork design dominates the image, with its blue-grey and gold hues creating an elegant and timeless appeal. The second pattern, in red-maroon, green, and low-toned yellow, adds a vibrant contrast, enriching the overall design. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as the Great London Exposition, was a significant cultural event that brought together various nations to showcase their achievements in art, industry, and commerce. This exhibition marked a turning point in the world of design, with a renewed focus on decorative arts and interior design. The decorations by T. Kershaw were not limited to the walls but extended to furnishings, wallpaper, and other interior elements. The intricate patterns, reminiscent of knots and strapwork, were a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of the time. The engraved image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the decorative trends of the 19th century and the influence of the International Exhibition on the world of design. The photograph print, preserved in the archives of the Illustrated London News, offers a unique perspective on the decorative arts of the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of intricate patterns and harmonious color palettes in interior design.
