No. 133. British Section of the Baris Universal Exhibition of 1855,
gj K Hue du. Cirque, Paris, 28 th day of May, 1855.
It is officially announced that the Jury of the Paris Universal Exhibition intend to rewardForemen of Works and Workmen who have distinguished themselves in the production of any objectsexhibited which the Jury may judge to deserve it.
It will aid the Jury if Exhibitors will indicate the objects exhibited by them which they think dis-play meritorious Workmanship, and give the names of the respective Workmen who have executed thevarious stages in the production of them.
Thus a piece of Cabinet work may display excellent Joinery done by one workman, and Carving byanother; or a piece of Porcelain may exhibit excellencies of Turning, Glazing, Gilding, or Painting, eachperformed by a separate Workman.
Should you desire to offer any suggestion to the Juries in this respect, I have to request that youwill fill up the accompanying Form, and return it to me, post-paid, as addressed, on or before the 15thday of June.
I take this opportunity of transmitting a Circular relative to the free issue of Passports to W T orkmenwho may desire to visit the Exhibition, and I shall be obliged by your making it known to yourWorkmen. I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
