From the introduction: "The Church History Exhibition held at St. Albans was intended to illustrate the History of the Church of England before and since the Reformation from the earliest times to the present day. With this object in view the Committee set themselves to gather together a selection of manuscripts books charters plans proclamations Acts of Parliament portraits views church-furniture vestments ornaments and plate and the result of their labours was an exhibition of great interest and of much educational value. Among the earlier exhibits may be mentioned the plan of the 4th Century Church at Silchester Hants the 8th or 9th Century Book of the Gospels from Hereford the 10th Century MS. of Bede on the Apocalypse from Lambeth William the Conqueror's Charter to Ramsey Abbey 12th Century Paten and Episcopal Ornaments from Chichester the Bishop of Truro's Mass-book of the 12th and 15th Centuries partly of the York Use the great MS.

The Collection of Church Plate which was one of the features of the Exhibition included some earlv examples of Chalices and Patens found in the graves of Bishops and Clergy in various parts of England. It is not possible to call particular attention to any of the very large number of printed books which were exhibited but the cases full of Service books Primers &c were deeply interesting and Lord Crawford's collection of Proclamations and a collection of all the most important Acts of Parliament bearing on the Reformation added much to the educational value of the Exhibition. The wonderful series of Prayer Books from Edward VI. to Edward VII. and the collection of various translations of the Bible into English are catalogued apart from other MSS. and printed books." The section on bibles items 563-597 on pages 146-158 is entirely devoted to pre-1700 Bibles including one later facsimile with notes providing brief descriptions and putting each Bible in context. Covers rubbed edges of boards and spine darkened contents Good. No publisher stated, revised and corrected edition, 1905 hardcover
1857réf. 3220484Small folio; pp. 4 vii i 3-300 4 'Index' with two chromolithographic frontispieces showing the exterior and interior of the exhibition building bound within the preliminaries; numerous wood-engraved illustrations throughout the text; a little browned and spotted in places; in the original publisher's red cloth ornamented and lettered in gilt blind-stamped fleurons in the corners; hinges repaired and overall a good copy. 1857 was a turning-point in the history of art appreciation. The exhibition with its 16000 items on display made the public aware of the fabulous wealth of pictures by old masters and objects of art of every kind hidden away in English country houses and at the same time it opened up a new period of art-historical studies. The preface is at pains to extol the education value of the exhibition and to make known to the people of England the art-wealth of their own country and by inducing a greater familiarity with the beautiful to increase and extend its refining influence. gThe Art-Treasures Examinerg contains a series of articles probably under the editorship of the journalist William Blanchard Jerrold who contributed articles on various subjects. Other contributors included Henry Ottley on art criticism schools of painting and engraving; the poet Charles Swain contributing short plays on art; James Astbury Hammersley on watercolour art; George Jackson on photography; Charles Allen Duval on the spirituality of art; G.W. Anthony 'Peregrine Sketchly' on British landscapes and modern painting; a 'History of Caricature' by the radical Dr Robert Blakey and possibly as the most interesting contribution a series of fourteen autobiographical articles by Henry Merritt 1822–1877 the picture conservator and art critic who had risen from a very poor background: 'Where my shoes came from was never satisfactorily explained'.

1851réf. 3220148Lithograph strip panorama consisting of four sheets conjoined measuring 12 x 230 cm overall some light dust-soiling in places; folding into publisher's original boards the upper cover with an illustration of a showman in military attire drumming up an audience for a show consisting of a Punch and Judy-style booth with what appear curiously to be marionettes rather than glove-puppets dancing on the stage spine expertly repaired covers slightly marked but nevertheless still a good example.

It concludes with 'A French Patriot playing Battledoor i.e. battledore & Shuttlecock' the character hitting two crowns and a bonnet-rouge into the air. Although unsigned the artist for the work is clearly Benjamin Clayton 1809-1883 what little we know of him comes mainly from his daughter the writer and artist Ellen Creathorne 1834-1900. Benjamin was born in Dublin but moved his family to London in 1841 hoping to be a history painter however his gifts lay instead with illustration firstly producing his own periodicals gChatg and gPunchinello. A journal of wit wisdom and romanceg but later having to work for other publishers first with Ackermann & Co. and later for Dean and Son. The publisher George Mann at 39 Cornhill together with Dean & Son issued several panoramas at the time of the Great Exhibition the partnership ending with Mann's death in 1852. Dean & Son, Printers.

Individually issued as part of the Crystal Palace Library series rarely does one find such a large collection of these small titles bound together detailing the specific contents of each division. The Crystal Palace was a cast iron and plate glass structure originally built in Hyde Park London to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. After the exhibition the Palace was relocated to an area of South London known as Penge Place which had been excised from Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from June 1854 until its destruction by fire in November 1936. The nearby residential area was renamed Crystal Palace after the landmark. The park still contains Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins's Crystal Palace Dinosaurs which date back to 1854.

1862réf. 100967AParis & London Mai 1862. 8vo. 182 x 120 cm. 31 pp. Illustrated with woodcuts including 2 full-page. Published for the London World Fair 1862 with map of the exibition halls on the inside front cover. The "Expositions Universelles" or World Fairs were intended to show the latest innovations and inventions. The earliest of these fairs were held in France but were national. The first one of 1798 was the start of eleven national fairs. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Callebaut shows different models and explains the technqiue of them. Both full page illustrations of the factory show us what factories looked like at the time. At the 1862 exhibition about 50 types of sewing machine were on show on over 20 stands. M. Callebaut from Paris showed 'several modifications of shuttle sewing machines of the Singer type.' Callebaut was the Singer licencee in France the only occasion on which the Singer Co granted a licence rather than manufacturing itself. Callebaut patented these modifications in France and Britain in his own name. Most of them apply to the Singer No. 2 machine and enabled it to have a reversible wheel feed for finishing seams and to produce a 'herring-bone stitch' zigzag by moving the top feed presser foot from side to side. Another machine had twin needles on the same needle bar for making two lines of stitches on the top side and a zigzag on the underneath with a single shuttle thread. Not content with all these variants M Callebaut exhibited some glove making machines of fearsome complexity using detached lengths of thread!
