Exhibition of the Lincoln School of Art, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Exhibition of the Lincoln School of Art, 1864....the interior of the large room...occupied by the first public exhibition of paintings and drawings which are the work of the students...It is a fine room...and may be used on public occasions for exhibitions...The school was inspected...by Mr. S. Hart, R. A. the Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy, who expressed high approval of its progress...ninety-four students of the first grade passed a satisfactory examination in drawing...The number of students of the second or higher grade who passed their examination in free-hand drawing, object-drawing, geometry, perspective, and mechanical drawing was twenty-three...Among the students of the third or highest grade, no less than twenty-two medals were distributed for proficiency in the following departments: outline from copy; outline from cast; shading from cast; outline of human figure; outline of foliage; painting from cast; painting from nature; original designs; machines...we cannot but think that, in a place where there exist so many large establishments, in which a great amount of skilled labour is employed (one manufactory alone having more than 1000 men), it will be found to be of essential service to the working classes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

This print captures the Exhibition of the Lincoln School of Art in 1864, showcasing the incredible talent and dedication of its students. The large room is filled with an array of paintings and drawings, all meticulously created by the hardworking individuals who have honed their skills at this prestigious institution.
The exhibition was a momentous occasion, marking the first public display of artwork produced by the students. It is evident that great care was taken in organizing this event, as noted by Mr. S. Hart, R.A., Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy, who commended the school's progress and high level of achievement.
A total of ninety-four students from the first grade passed their drawing examination with flying colors, demonstrating their commitment to mastering their craft. Additionally, twenty-three students from higher grades excelled in various aspects such as free-hand drawing, object-drawing, geometry, perspective, and mechanical drawing.
The highlight of the exhibition was undoubtedly when twenty-two medals were awarded to students in recognition of their proficiency across different departments including painting from cast or nature, original designs, machines and more.
In a time where skilled labor was highly valued within industrial establishments employing thousands of workers each day; it is clear that institutions like Lincoln School of Art played a crucial role in providing essential training for working classes looking to enhance their skills and advance their careers.
