Ildikó PANDÚR: The Role of Gyula Jungfer in Hungary's National Exhibition of 1885

barátját, hogy az angol trónörökös további megrendelésben is részesítette Jungfert, nevezetesen egy vasrácskapu készítésével bízta meg. Ám a kiállítás legszebb darabját, egy vörösréz albumlapot, ízléses emblémákkal és figurális alakokkal, melyen 6 hónapig dolgoztak, Erzsébet királyné vette meg 600 frt-ért, s ugyanő egy kandallórácsot és két gyertyatartót is vásárolt 400 frt-ért.’ [From among Jungfer’s truly artistic artefacts, the Prince of Wales, too, made significant purchases, namely a hanging lamp (300 forints), two candleholders with the beautiful ironwork that drew attention at the Exhibition for 60 forints and two hand-held lamps for 14 forints each. But friends of Hungarian industry may even be prouder at the order for an iron gate placed with Jungfer by the heir to the British throne. But the most beautiful piece at the Exhibition, a copper albumpage with tasteful emblems and figurái depictions the work for which took six months, was purchased by Queen Elizabeth for 600 forints; she also purchased a fireplace screen and two candleholders for a total of 400 forints.] In: Vasárnapi Újság 1885.

66 His connection with the monarch is illustrated by the names of Jungfer’s children: Gyula, Ferenc (Francis) and József 0oseph). In 1900, the emperor- king visited Jungfer’s factory in Berzsenyi utca. A memento of the visit is the memorial plaque which is still on the building today. A number of equestrian statues of Francis Joseph from the firm’s bronze section are to be found in private hands.
