A sheet printed on both sides illustrating and describing the use of a type of centrepiece flower-stand made in glass by the firm Dobson & Pearce.  These flower-stands were exhibited at the London International Exhibition in 1862.  Cf. "The Art Journal illustrated catalogue of the International Exhibition 1862", p. 15.  See McLean Q 0013.

Wood-engraved illustration is the same as that used in "Cassell's Illustrated Exhibitor containing about three hundred illustrations, with letter-press descriptions of all the principal objects in the International Exhibition of 1862", published in 1862 by Cassell, Petter, & Galpin.  See McLean Q 0056, p. 204.  Illustration is unsigned.

C. March, published in 1862 by Harrison.  See McLean O 0425.5.
