EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning tinted lithograph captures the grandeur of the Palace of Industry in 1851, a structure that would later be famously known as the Crystal Palace. The winter scene depicted shows men and women gracefully skating on a frozen river in the foreground, with the magnificent Crystal Palace looming in the background.
The artist, Frances Henri Edmond Le Bihan, skillfully brings to life this historic moment with intricate detail and vibrant colors. The artwork was published by Ackermann & Co. in London on April 10th, 1851, showcasing not only the architectural beauty of the palace but also capturing a snapshot of leisurely winter activities during that time period.
Designed by Sir Joseph Paxton, the Crystal Palace was a marvel of engineering and design during its time and quickly became an iconic landmark. This print serves as a reminder of both the elegance of Victorian architecture and the joyous pastimes enjoyed by people during colder months.
Displayed at Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in Telford, Shropshire, UK, this piece is not just a historical artifact but also a work of art that transports viewers back to a simpler time filled with charm and grace.
