Text Appearing Before Image:
plainly apparent here. Thegrotesques, medallions and scrolls—the latter interwoven in a most bewilderingway—are eminently Moorish. It would be difficult to find any more spiritedor gracefully fanciful pattern than that in the central zone of this shield. A graceful and in every way satisfactory piece of metal-work of an entirelydifferent character is the Wrought-Iron Flower-Stand, made bv Barnard, 192 THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1876. Bishop & Barnard, of England, which is illustrated in our engraving on page185. The perfect simplicity of the design is its chief beauty. A light openstand supports a shaft resembling the stem of a plant, and above a group ofdelicate blossoms, looking like modest little Quaker ladies, surround the basinintended to receive the flowers. This flower-stand is decidedly one of theprettiest things of the kind exhibited in the Exhibition, and it has the meritof being suitable alike for the lawn, the piazza or the drawing-room.
