The International Exhibition: a scene near the Eastern Dome on the closing day, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: a scene near the Eastern Dome on the closing day, 1862. Whether from accident or with a design to draw off some of the human pressure from the western portion of the building, some little time before four o'clock, the hour appointed for the closing, a large number of persons were attracted towards the eastern dome by the appearance of Messrs. Distins band, which took up a position beneath Foster and Andrews large organ, which stood in the north-eastern transept close to the steps leading to the platform of the dome. The strains of "God Save the Queen" which proceeded from the organ and the band led to a natural belief that the scant ceremonial had begun in the eastern instead of the western end of the building, and numbers of persons who were thus mistaken were happily preserved from much uncomfortable pressure at the right end and enjoyed a musical performance of their own which was nearly if not quite as good as that of the better informed who were packed about the western dome'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene near the Eastern Dome on the closing day of The International Exhibition in 1862. The image is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as the event nears its end. In the foreground, a large crowd has gathered beneath Foster and Andrews' organ in the north-eastern transept, drawn towards the Eastern Dome by the allure of Messrs. Distins' band. The band, positioned beneath the organ, plays God Save the Queen, leading many in the crowd to believe that the ceremonial proceedings have begun in this area. The mistake proves to be a fortunate one for these individuals, as it saves them from the uncomfortable pressure and overcrowding at the Western end of the building. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant energy and unpredictability of the exhibition, where even a misunderstanding could lead to an enjoyable experience. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of The International Exhibition and the unexpected twists it presented.
