Excerpt from Carton Celebration, 1877: Catalogue of the Loan Collection of Antiquities, Curiosities, and Appliances Connected With the Art of Printing South Kensington These gentlemen met together towards the end of 1876, in the Directors' Library of the Bank of England, on several occasions to discuss the object they had before them, to elect a general Committee, and solicit the aid of certain distinguished persons as Patrons of the undertaking. On the 17th February, 1877, a very successful meeting was held in the Jerusalem Chamber, not far from the presumed site of Caxton's printing Office, at which Dean Stanley presided and meetings were subsequently held at the Society Of Arts and the Mansion House, at which lists Of Patrons were announced, sectional committees formed, and an Executive appointed to conduct the Celebration about to be held. Among the Patrons were Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness Prince Leopold, the two Archbishops, the Worshipful Company of Mercers, the Worshipful Company of Stationers, His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Earl Spencer, Earl Stanhope, and numerous other noblemen and gentlemen, including the Governor and deputy-governor Of the Bank Of England. As the scheme expanded itself, the choice Of a fitting place for the Exhibition had to be decided. At first it was thought that the Hall Of the Stationers' Company, which had been generously placed at the disposal of the Committee, would suffice but this was found too small to accommodate the vast number of exhibits likely to be offered. The Royal Commissioners Of the 1851 Exhibition were, therefore, appealed to for the use of the Western Galleries at South Kensington this they graciously accorded, and granted every facility for arranging the various exhibits as they are now shown.
