EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Great Exhibition held in 1851. The image showcases the south side of the iconic Crystal Palace, as seen from near Prince's Gate. Engraved by P. Brannon and T. Picken using color lithography, this artwork beautifully brings to life the architectural marvel that was the Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace, designed by Sir Joseph Paxton, was a groundbreaking structure made entirely of glass and iron. It served as a symbol of progress and innovation during the Victorian era. The exhibition itself aimed to showcase Britain's industrial prowess and cultural achievements to an international audience. In this particular view, we are presented with a sweeping panorama of the palace's exterior. The intricate details of its elaborate facade are brought into sharp focus through vibrant colors and meticulous engraving techniques employed by Brannon and Picken. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images, it is impossible not to be awestruck by both its scale and beauty. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic skill while also offering us a glimpse into an important moment in history when London stood at the forefront of global innovation.
