Portion of the State Ceremonial on the Upper Terrace of the Horticultural Society's Gardens, [South Kensington, London], 1862. 'In the Horticultural Gardens a dais, with the throne which had been used at the opening ceremonial, was erected over the site intended for the memorial of the Exhibition of 1851. In the conservatory on the terrace the Royal Commissioners for 1851, the Lord Mayor, the Council of the Society of Arts, the Council of the Horticultural Society, and the members of the Finance and Building Committees, had assembled; and there also assembled the Duke of Cambridge and the special representatives. About one o'clock this body moved down to the dais and throne, the Viceroy of Egypt and Prince Carignan walking on either side of the Duke of Cambridge. Here had previously assembled the whole body of jurors, and they were grouped at its foot. On the dais the cortege above mentioned stationed itself, when Earl Granville, on the part of the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862, delivered an appropriate address. Lord Taunton, as President of the Council of Jurors, read a report stating at large their awards'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
