The International Exhibition: carriage by Stevenson and Elliot, of Stirling, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: carriage by Stevenson and Elliot, of Stirling, 1862. The door-glasses...are especially devoted to illustrating the progress of the colony of Victoria [in Australia]...The lower shield contains a photograph of their extensive coach factory and salerooms in Melbourne. Supporting the factory on each side are the photographs of the proprietors. The centres of these door-glasses are also in good taste. At the base are represented photographic likenesses of two of the aboriginal natives - male and female - surmounted by the rising sun, suggesting the idea of the dawn of civilisation and the fact that the sun never sets on her Majesty's dominions, the natives being under the immediate protection and insignia of the British crown...On the front part of the carriage the Australian arms are conspicuous, the kangaroo and the emu for the supporters, inclosed within the Order of the Garter, with its expressive motto, all being surmounted by the crown'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
