Description Fashion advertisement containing two panelled scenes of 15 elegantly attired men, women, and children in a parlor and a fair setting. Upper panel shows the parlor scene. Eight of the nine men are attired in jackets, vests, cravats, top hats and canes. Some wear plaid and striped pants. One man, seated with sheet music in his lap and a stringed instrument by his side, is attired in an elaborate silk robe. The remaining men, most standing, converse in groups and study framed images hanging on the wall. The left image is a landscape, and the right depicts a portrait of an older man. Lower panel shows the New York Crystal Palace, an exhibition building designed by Georg Carstensen and German architect Charles Gildemeister and constructed for the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations in New York City in 1853. View includes foot, carriage, and omnibus traffic. Couples, children and dogs stroll the grounds. In the foreground, flanking the view of the exhibition building, are six figures, including a gentleman standing with his back shown, looking at a woman on a horse and a boy holding a watering can. The man is attired in a jacket, top hat and cane, and the boy wears a ruffled cape-like jacket, knickers and a cap. The woman, sitting sidesaddle, wears a dress, jacket, gloves and a plumed hat. On the right side, two men stand with a boy. All of them wear jackets, vests, cravats, patterned pants, boots and hats. One man holds a rifle in his left hand. Many of the depicted men have mustaches and or sideburns. New York's 1853 exhibition was held on the site now home to Bryant Park. A fire destroyed the exhibition building in 1858.
