Masterpieces of industrial art & sculpture at the International exhibition, 1862
This is a chromolithographic plate book from London, published in 1863 by Day & Son, by John Burley Waring, cataloguing decorative metalwork, ceramics, fireplaces and vases shown at the 1862 International Exhibition for an audience of manufacturers and designers. The plates are richly coloured and show objects isolated against plain or interior backgrounds, with clear lighting and strong, decorative pattern in wrought iron grilles, perforated pottery and painted vases that a designer could draw on for ornament, colour pairings and period motifs.
