The International Exhibition: the Algerian Court... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: the Algerian Court - from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, 1862. There are...two glass cases which contain stands of a rich transparent gauzy material woven from indigenous cotton and elaborately embroidered...[as well as] an immense number of specimens of raw cotton...The fabrics woven from this cotton are contributed by firms in France which have taken up the manufacture of the Algerian raw material...There is a considerable display of wines, both red and white...These are, of course, the result of French industry and manufacture in the colony...In another compartment are arranged various specimens of Algerian wool...The display of indigenous wood is large and various, and some of it is exquisitely grained, while its capability for manufacture is shown by a considerable collection of boxes of all kinds, dressing-cases, workboxes, snuffboxes &c...[made] by Parisian workmen...[Also to be seen are] skins of African wild beasts, which are spread on the walls like tapestry. There is a magnificent tawny-haired, hide of a lion who must have been an emperor amongst the kings of beasts, and there are examples of skins of leopards, hyenas, and other animals'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
