The International Exhibition: Mr. Harry Emanuel's Trophy, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Mr. Harry Emanuel's Trophy, 1862....the trophy...was composed of wood stained to look like ebony, inlaid with marble and enriched with bronze. Its form was square, and at the angles were placed plinths, supporting...caryatides, representing the Seasons. Over the carved cornice is a light and elegant dome, on the summit of which is a bronze copy of the celebrated and well-known Mercury (by John of Bologna), a hackneyed but very graceful figure, representing the God of Trade and Theft...Three sides of the trophy contained cases wherein several remarkable and fine jewels were exhibited, and the fourth opened to admit the assistants of Mr. Emanuel, who during the exhibition drove a very vigorous trade. Surrounding the trophy were several meritorious groups: the ivory Venus, the statuette of the Prince of Wales, and other objects of great merit. The height of the trophy is altogether upwards of 30ft. the caryatides are 7ft. high, and the Mercury the size of life'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
