INTERNTIOAL LONDON EXHIBITION

1862 was a world event on a mass-scale.  Thousands of objects from 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.

Larger in size and scale than the 1851 Great Exhibition, 1862 was nevertheless judged a flop and failed to establish a lasting legacy like that of its predecessor. 

The building consisted of a main structure with two adjoining wings set at right angles for machinery and agricultural 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

The Arts and Crafts Movement was an international design movement that originated 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.
