INTERNTIOAL LONDON EXHIBITION

1862 was a world event on a mass-scale. Thousands of objects frem 36 different

countries were
displayed together to represent the best of the raw, crafted and manufactured.
This art and industry of the cutting-edge was staged in a specially designed site
in South
Kensington, London.
Lprger in size and scale than the 1851 Great Exhibition, 1862 was
evertheless judged a flop and failed to establish a lasting legacy like
that of its predecessor.

The buildin consisted of a main structure with two adjoining wings set at right
ans!es for
machinery and agricultura I equipment; the wings were demolished after the
Exhibition. Its main
facade along Cromwell Road was 1152 feet (351 m) in length, and ornamented by two
crystal
domes, each of which was 260 feet (79 m) high.

THE ART AND CRAFT MOVEMENT

in Britain and
flourished between 1880 and 1910.
- It was instigated by the artist and writer William Morris (1834—1896) in the
1860s and was
inspired by the writings of John Ruskin (1819— 1900)
- It influenced architecture, domestic design and the decorative arts,
using simple forms and a medieval style of decoration.
- It advocated truth to materials, traditional craftsmanship and economic reform.
