The Universal Cattle Show and Agricultural Exhibition, Paris, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Universal Cattle Show and Agricultural Exhibition, Paris, 1856. Visitors at the Palais de l'lndustrie....the ground in the centre of the building...has been transferred into a delicious garden...Grassplats with their velvet verdure, graceful flower-beds, shrubs, fountains, groups of statuary - all, in fine, that could refresh the sight, and shed a charm over the whole place, has been got together. Standing, from the gallery, one may fancy he was looking over some fair valley, rich in verdure and fragrant in flowers, while the singing of birds from aviaries half concealed amid the trees and shrubs, the gushing of the cool waters as they flash in the stray sunbeam that shoots down through the crystal roof, and the occasional lowing of the cattle complete the illusion. Never was it imagined that a cattle show could be made so interesting'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

The Universal Cattle Show and Agricultural Exhibition, Paris, 1856: A Feast for the Senses This photograph transports us back in time to the Palais de l'Industrie in Paris, 1856, where the Universal Cattle Show and Agricultural Exhibition was held. The image, taken from an unknown photographer, captures the awe-inspiring transformation of the industrial space into a lush, verdant paradise. The ground in the centre of the building has been transferred into a delicious garden. Grassplats with their velvet verdure, graceful flower-beds, shrubs, fountains, groups of statuary - all, in fine, that could refresh the sight and shed a charm over the whole place, has been got together. The illusion is so convincing that, standing from the gallery, one may fancy they were looking over some fair valley, rich in verdure and fragrant in flowers. The singing of birds from aviaries half concealed amid the trees and shrubs, the gushing of the cool waters as they flash in the stray sunbeam that shoots down through the crystal roof, and the occasional lowing of the cattle complete the illusion. Never was it imagined that a cattle show could be made so interesting. This photograph, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the time. It serves as a reminder of the power of design and the human ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary.
