The International Naval Festival at Portsmouth: the Illuminated Fountain at the ball given by the Mayor, 1865. The decorations, which had been intrusted to Mr. Dillon, of London, were of a novel and effective style...The vestibule had in its centre an illuminated fountain, playing to the height of 20 ft. into a basin of 14 ft. in diameter, where were some of the choicest ferns and rockwork. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
