The Lima International Exhibition (Exposicion Internacional de 1872) was held in the Park of the Exposition, Lima in 1872 to attract foreign investment, demonstrate Peru's progress[2] and to mark fifty years since Peru's independence[3]

Background

The Peruvian president José Balta had ordered the demolition of the Walls of Lima in 1870 and the establishment of the Park of the Exposition to host the exhibition.[4] The park was designed by {{illm|Manuel Atanasio Fuentes|es}} and Antonio Leonardi[4] and opened on 1 July 1872.[5]

Contents

During the fair there was a botanic garden, a Chinese pavilion and displays of modern machinery and of pre-Columbian art.[2] And still remaining in the park in 2017 there are a Byzantine and Moroccan pavilion and a fountain of Neptune.[2] There was also a Huaca, a Chinese pavilion, a dovecote, a lake with swans[6] and a large clock.[6][5] The clock, 'The great clock of Lima', designed by {{illm|Pedro Ruiz Gallo|es}} was installed in a tower and as well as the time had six dials showing century date, year, month, week, day and phases of the moon, incorporated an organ and a 3x1 metre oblong to show a different historical picture every 25 hours.[5]

The British firms Ransomes, Sims and Head (Ipswich) exhibited agricultural machinery, Ruston, Proctor and Company a road engine, Bailey and Company fire pumps and pyrometers and Barrow Hematite Steel Company showed steel and iron works.[5]
