London were active. However, unlike the colonies that depicted the general life of the colonies and kept a similar theme throughout the years, the exhibitions that represented India had a different theme/subject each year. These themes of the India portion of the exhibitions in chronological order were woolens/pottery, jewelry, silks and leather objects. During the London exhibition of 1871 was popular among the general public. In 1872 the exhibition had a theme of showing jewelry from India. The jewelry that was presented was not limited to the jewelry of certain classes of Indian society and instead the exhibition of 1872 showed pieces that were worn by both sexes from all economic classes. The third exhibition, which took place in 1873 was heavily focused on presenting Indian silks. The silks that were shown during the exhibition were both plain and embroidered. During the final year of the international annual exhibition in London, the primary theme of the Indian proportion of the exhibition was leather made objects. However, it is important to note while each year of the annual exhibition that the Indian exhibition did have a theme, the exhibitions representing India were not limited to said themes. In fact, during every annual exhibition there was a large amount of Indian artwork shown. These artworks included ornaments, miniatures, carvings and embroideries, etc... made of inlaid wood, metal works, ivory, onyx. These exhibitions were presented in a location known as an Indian court.
