The International Exhibition: angel from the Hereford Screen, designed by G. G. Scott, R.A. manufactured by Skidmore's Art-Manufacturers Company, Coventry, 1862. This work...the grandest and most triumphant achievement of modern architectural art...the largest art-work in metal of which we have knowledge...fitly illustrates the most glorious scene ever enacted on this earth - the Ascension of our Lord...At each side are angels hymning his glad welcome to the slues; and how full of wondering adoration is their gaze!...One feature of the screen which should not be overlooked or passed slightingly is the open manifestation which we have, upon viewing it, of the mode of its formation: it has resulted from the work of the hammer and the chisel - it is wrought...Every chemist is acquainted with the beautiful colours of some of the oxydes of the metals; but Mr. Skidmore has attempted the utilising such by applying them to the colouring of the iron; thus, as his work is formed of iron, copper, and brass, he has applied to it the colours of the oxydes of these metals'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Angel from The International Exhibition's Hereford Screen, designed by the renowned architect G.G. Scott, R.A., and manufactured by Skidmore's Art-Manufacturers' Company in Coventry, England, in 1862. The grandiosity and triumph of modern architectural art are encapsulated in this masterpiece, which holds the distinction of being the largest art-work in metal ever created. The scene depicted is the glorious Ascension of our Lord, with angels on either side hymning his welcome. Their expressions are filled with wonder and adoration, adding to the overall awe-inspiring effect. One noteworthy aspect of the screen is the intricate method of its creation, which is revealed upon closer inspection. The work is a testament to the skill of the hammer and chisel, as it is entirely formed from iron, copper, and brass. The application of the oxydes of these metals to the coloring of the iron adds an additional layer of beauty to the already impressive work. The Illustrated London News described the screen as 'the grandest and most triumphant achievement of modern architectural art,' and it is easy to see why. The Angel from The International Exhibition's Hereford Screen stands as a symbol of the power and creativity of the human spirit, showcasing the heights that can be reached through art and innovation.
