EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News in 1854, showcases The Greek Court at the Crystal Palace in London. The Greek Court was a significant attraction during the Great Exhibition of 1851, showcasing replicas of ancient Greek sculptures and bas-reliefs. The architectural design of the Greek Court was inspired by the Grecian Doric order, with proportions copied from the temple of Jupiter at Nemea. The central and larger entrance leads into the principal Greek Court, which is square in shape and surrounded by porticoes, resembling a Greek agora or Roman forum. The sculptures displayed within include the famous Discobolus, the discus thrower, and the Venus de Milo, the goddess of love and beauty. The Greek Court was a popular tourist attraction during the Victorian era, drawing visitors from around the world to witness the marvels of ancient Greek art and culture within the heart of South London.
