The International Exhibition: carpet by Woodward Brothers and Co. 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: carpet by Woodward Brothers and Co. 1862. The carpet which we engrave...is an excellent illustration of a true treatment of a floor-covering. In general setting-out this carpet is good, and, as engraved, the border bears a very just relation to the centre and to the size of the whole, and the various parts of the border are of such widths as agreeably combine; but our Engraving does not exactly represent the work as it appears in the exhibition, where a second and wider border appears to have been been sewn round the whole by mistake. This being removed, the work appears as it is drawn, and is in many respects all that could be desired. The central ornament is simple in the arrangement of its parts, and is well composed. The field consists of a small geometrical pattern which is very happy in the arrangement of its parts, and is effective and pleasing, each member being well made out and individualised, and at the same time bearing a pleasing relation to the other forms; and the border is made up of geometrical shapes, which are filled with conventional foliaceous forms. In colour this carpet is retiring and simple - red, green, low-toned yellow, and blue prevailing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
