EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the Sevres Vase presented to H.R.H. Prince Albert of Britain by His Imperial Majesty Napoleon III, Emperor of the French, in 1856. Designed to commemorate the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, this porcelain vase was a testament to the friendship between England and France. The Sevres Vase is of spherical form, showcasing pure Grecian character, with a deep amaranth ground color and intricate gold ornaments. The central painting depicts emblematic figures of the principal nations of the world submitting the fruits of human intelligence to three female genii seated upon a throne, symbolizing Justice, Industry, and Equity. A laurel crown adorns the upper part of the vase, while around the mouth is a smaller crown or wreath, featuring portrait figures of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and an inscription in gold letters. This exquisite piece was created at the Manufacture Nationale de Sevres, a renowned French porcelain factory. The Sevres Vase was featured in the Illustrated London News in 1856, showcasing the international relations and cultural exchange between Britain and France during the nineteenth century. The image is a reminder of the significance of the Great Exhibition of 1851, also known as the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, which brought together various countries to display their industrial and artistic achievements. The Sevres Vase is a beautiful example of the artistic collaboration between the two nations and the enduring bond between them. This photograph, taken in the mid-nineteenth century, captures a moment in history that continues to resonate and inspire.
