An American inventor and entrepreneur, Taliaferro Preston Shaffner
(1818-81) collaborated with the Rev. W. Owen on this 'guided tour'
of London's 1862 International Exhibition, showcasing Victorian
achievements in technology and the arts. Described here are
exhibits, originating from Britain, her empire and beyond, which
include early washing machines and lawnmowers, as well as grand
ideas for metropolitan drainage systems and a Channel Tunnel. The
arts are also well covered, with descriptions of the latest
fabrics, wallpapers, musical instruments, ceramics and photography.
The authors also give background details of how the International
Exhibition built upon the success of the Great Exhibition of 1851.
Illustrated with sixty full-page steel engravings, this is a highly
detailed guide to a very modern event. Also relating to the
exhibition, Edward McDermott's Popular Guide and both the official
and illustrated catalogues of the industrial department have been
reissued in this series.
