RECOLLECTIONS OF
walls of the recess are hung with the same fabric as well as
the corners of the roof which let in a soft light producing
a charming effect.
The sides of this room are filled with the collective exhi-
bition of the Bale ribbon manufacturers, and by machine
embroidery from Straheli-Wild, of St. Gall, and others.
In the centre, amid the jewellery cases, we notice one of
the prettiest things in the Exhibition ; a series of natural
butterflies mounted most artistically under glass, and forming
pins, brooches, &c. Here is the Morpho Menelas from
Brasil, the Laurentia with its azure shades from Columbia,
the elegant Amplipodia Hercules of the Moluccas, and several
indigenous sorts, all preserving their bright colours which
the glass renders brighter still. It is an excellent idea, well
carried out, and does great credit to its inventor, Mr. Artaria,
of Lugano, canton of Ticino.
Besides the embroideries we have mentioned, there are
some very remarkable' ones in the Furniture Court., We
may cite particularly some embroidered tulle curtains from
Tanner and Schief, of Herisau, some muslin curtains with
tulle applications from Steiger, Schoch and Eberhardt, of
the same town, some tulle curtains embroidered with chain-
stitch, from Speicher, a magnificent embroidered muslin robe
from Baenziger, of St. Gill, an embroidered muslin curtain
representing tropical plants, from Depierre, Lausanne, and
some tulle curtains with applications, from Alder and Meyer,
Herisau. ,: ■, .
The interior of the second court is filled with cotton prints
of staring patterns made at Glaris, Schwanden and Diessen-
hofen and principally intended for exportation.
