Framed Prints
Framed Print of Prize designs for the Great Tower, 1890. Creator: Unknown
Prize designs for the Great Tower, 1890. Rejected designs for Blackpool Tower. The jurors appointed to consider the competition designs for the project for a tower to overtop the Eiffel Tower have issued their report to the directors of the "Tower Company." They report that they have given very careful examination to every drawing, that the designs were of very varying merit, and, although there were good points about many of them, they confess to being disappointed with the general result, and express regret that "there is no single design which we could recommend as it stands for execution." The one which they recommend for the first premium of 500 guineas, that by Messrs. Stewart, Maclaren, and Dunn, is the best in regard to design, with an entrance façade treated in a rather Oriental style; but the Jurors state that, though many of the designs were at once eliminated as unsuitable, they did not arrive at the final award without repeated and prolonged consideration. The second premium of 250 guineas is awarded to Messrs. Webster and Haigh, of Liverpool. The Jurors are Mr. E. H. Carbutt (chairman), Sir F. Bramwell, Sir B. Baker, Mr. E. J. Harland, Professor A. W. B. Kennedy, and Messrs. C. Liddell, J. F. Moulton, and Thomas Verity'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
