THOUSANDS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS
Having been attracted by
THE PICTURE OF LONDON,
Which covers the interior of the external wall,
THE MODERN BABYLON,
Which occupied the artist upwards of four years in delineating its endless details from the dome of St. Paul’s at the quiet hour of morning, when the buildings of this great metropolis were unobscured by smoke, and the early mists dispersed by the sun’s vicegerent power,—this picture now
“Stands within the Colosseum’s wall.”
THE BUILDING CONTAINS
A GRAND SALOON OF ART,
Surrounding the interior of the whole edifice,
“All musical in its immensities,
Rich marbles—richer painting—”
Stored with productions of modern artists, models of ingenious machinery, and a variety of scientific experiments to attract the spectator, and is well calculated for any and every exhibition of an extensive nature.
“Enter——————thy mind,
Expanded by the genius of the spot,
Has grown colossal!”
On the outside of the main building are magnificent Conservatories filled with every kind of exotic, and decorated with
FOUNTAINS AND JETS D’EAU,
Equalling in beauty the most celebrated
Fountains of Versailles & St. Eldefonso.
Two Thousand Eight Hundred Persons
HAVE PAID FOR ADMISSION DURING ONE DAY
To view this extraordinary and incomparable work of art.
THE COLOSSEUM’S GRANDEUR
ENCOMPASSED THEM WITH WONDER—A SUBLIME
CREATIVE SPIRIT IN THIS WORLD OF MIRACLES.
