EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment between two influential figures of the 19th century. Albert, Prince Consort of Queen Victoria, is seen graciously handing over a substantial sum of money to Joseph Paxton, the brilliant designer behind the iconic Crystal Palace. The occasion? None other than the surplus funds from the Great Exhibition of 1851 in Hyde Park, London. As captured by John Tenniel's masterful cartoon for "Punch" this wood engraving brings to life an intriguing episode that showcases both British and German royalty. With his regal presence and dignified demeanor, Prince Albert symbolizes not only his own lineage but also represents Queen Victoria's reign during its peak. The exchange itself is depicted with whimsical charm as Prince Albert hands Paxton what appears to be a generous slice of solid pudding worth £20,000 – a significant amount at that time. This gesture serves as recognition for Paxton's remarkable architectural achievement in creating the awe-inspiring Crystal Palace. This image resonates with historical significance as it captures an era marked by innovation and progress. It reminds us of the grandeur and success achieved through international exhibitions like those held in Hyde Park during Victorian times. Through this photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to a time when artistry merged with commerce and culture flourished under royal patronage.
