EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design showcases the Irish Exhibition Programme for the Olympia, London event held from the 6th to 8th of August in 1888. The Victorian-era illustration is a stunning representation of Ireland's rich heritage and culture, with intricate ornate details that exemplify the design sensibilities of the 1880s. The cover is dominated by the iconic image of Blarney Castle, a symbol of Ireland's history and legend. The castle is depicted in pink and black hues, adding a sense of elegance and mystery to the design. The border surrounding the image is adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, including harps and shamrocks, further emphasizing the Irish theme. The title of the programme is written in bold, elegant font, with "Official Daily Programme" and "Irish Exhibition" clearly visible. The date of the event, "August 6, 7 and 8, 1888," is also displayed prominently. The price of the programme is indicated as "2d," which was the price of two pence in the late 19th century. The Irish Exhibition at Olympia, London, was a significant trade event that showcased the best of Irish industry, agriculture, and arts. The programme would have been an essential companion for attendees, providing them with a schedule of events, speakers, and exhibits. This cover design not only serves as a beautiful representation of the exhibition but also as a symbolic reminder of Ireland's rich cultural heritage and the Victorian era's design sensibilities.
