EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The English Mediaeval Court' at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, South London, dates back to 1854. The image showcases an impressive assemblage of architectural fragments from various English cathedrals and abbeys, meticulously arranged to recreate the ambiance of a medieval court. At the center of the composition lies the grand altar-tomb and recumbent effigies of Edward the Black Prince. The tomb of Humphrey De Bohun is situated to the left, with a doorway from Lincoln Cathedral above it. The upper niche and figure in the angle are derived from Wells Cathedral, while the lower figure and niche in the angle hail from Westminster Abbey. A niche from St. Mary's, Beverley, is placed next to the tomb of Humphrey de Bohun, and a niche from Southwell Minster is situated beneath the central monument. The central figure of Edward the Black Prince, also known as Edward of Woodstock and the Prince of Wales, was a prominent English military leader during the Hundred Years' War. Humphrey De Bohun, the 4th Earl of Hereford and 4th Earl of Essex, is depicted in his tomb to the left. This intriguing tableau was captured through both photography and wood engraving by the skilled artist Philip H. Delamotte. The photograph was first published in the 'Illustrated London News' in 1854, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and cultural significance of the Great Exhibition of 1851, also known as the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations. The Crystal Palace, which housed this exhibition, was a groundbreaking architectural achievement of its time, showcasing the best of industrial and artistic achievements from around the world.
