The International Exhibition: capital and portion of shaft of column from the Hereford Screen, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: capital and portion of shaft of column 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... In the cusped oval in the centre of the work, standing upon a capital round which the passion-flower is arranged with peculiar skill, is the Saviour risen above the suffering which the flower portrays...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 a section of the Hereford Screen, a masterpiece created for The International Exhibition of 1862. The designer of this architectural marvel was the esteemed Sir George Gilbert Scott, R.A. The screen's grandest and most triumphant achievement in modern architectural art, it is the largest metalwork art piece known to exist, fittingly depicting the most glorious scene ever enacted on earth – the Ascension of our Lord. At the center of the work, the Savior is depicted rising above the suffering, symbolized by the passionflower, which is artfully arranged on a round capital. One striking feature of the screen that warrants attention is the open manifestation of its formation. The intricate design was brought to life through the skillful use of the hammer and chisel, resulting in a work of art that is a testament to the beauty of traditional craftsmanship. Another noteworthy aspect of the Hereford Screen is the innovative use of metal oxides for coloring. Every artisan is familiar with the beautiful hues of some metal oxides, but Mr. Skidmore, the manufacturer, has brilliantly applied these colors to the iron, copper, and brass used in the creation of the screen. As a result, the work boasts a stunning visual effect, with each metal showcasing its unique and vibrant oxide colors.
