Fragments of Gem and Lamp Exposition At Hyde Park
A long catalog-like report describes rare gems including large emeralds, a star sapphire, a kingly cat's eye, and a bloodstone sapphire, alongside elaborate chandeliers and lamps from Birmingham makers. It notes photography exhibits, glass cases of honey, and preserved meats as part of the Great Exhibition offerings.
