The International Exhibition: the Treaty of Commerce Screen Carpet, by T. Tapling... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: the Treaty of Commerce Screen Carpet, by Thomas Tapling, of Gresham-street, 1862. It must at the outset be understood that [this machine-made item], while wrought in Axminster carpet, is not intended as a floor covering, but for a wall decoration, or at least a vertical position..."It, " says its manufacturers, "is intended as a screen or panel...after the manner of the Gobelin tapestries, and was especially designed...by Mr. Wm. Parris for the Exhibition. The design is intended to commemorate the recent treaty of commerce between France and England, and contains a figure of the Emperor presenting the treaty to the Queen, as a "further proof of the friendship of the French nation." The principal subject is surrounded with an elaborate framework of laurel and oak leaves...the panels are of a rich maroon, having an ornament formed alternately of the rose and bee, emblematical of the two countries. The French emblem is again introduced on a shield at the top of the design, surmounted with branches of palm and festoons of flowers. At the base are the English and French flags supporting the Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock, with a blue ribbon bearing the motto "La reciprocite est la base vraie et durable de la paix". From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricate detail of The International Exhibition: The Treaty of Commerce Screen Carpet, created by Thomas Tapling in 1862. The identity of the creator of this image remains unknown, but its history is richly documented. This machine-made carpet, woven in Axminster, was not intended for use as a floor covering, but rather as a vertical decoration or screen, reminiscent of the Gobelin tapestries. Designed by William Parris for the exhibition, the screen carpet commemorates the recent treaty of commerce between France and England. The central figure depicts Emperor Napoleon III presenting the treaty to Queen Victoria, symbolizing the renewed friendship between the two nations. The design is encircled by an elaborate framework of laurel and oak leaves, representing peace and strength. The principal panel is a rich maroon color, adorned with an ornament consisting of alternating roses and bees, symbolizing the two countries. The French emblem is prominently displayed on a shield at the top, surmounted by branches of palm and festoons of flowers. At the base, the English and French flags support the rose, thistle, and shamrock, with a blue ribbon bearing the motto 'La reciprocite est la base vraie et durable de la paix,' meaning 'Reciprocity is the true and lasting base of peace.' This exquisite screen carpet, a testament to the diplomatic alliance between France and England, remains a captivating example of Victorian-era design and craftsmanship.
