EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment in time as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert proudly open the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London. The image, taken from a contemporary print by Mary Evans Picture Library, shows the royal couple standing before the grand entrance of the Crystal Palace, surrounded by an eager crowd. Queen Victoria, dressed in a yellow gown and adorned with the royal diadem and Order of the Garter, gazes out at the throngs of people with a regal expression. Her consort, Prince Albert, wears a military uniform and holds the scepter and orb, symbolizing his role as Prince-Consort. The Great Exhibition, also known as the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, was a groundbreaking event that showcased the latest innovations and advancements from around the world. The Crystal Palace, designed by Joseph Paxton, was constructed specifically for the exhibition and could accommodate over 10,000 exhibitors from 25 countries. The opening ceremony took place on May 1, 1851, and was attended by thousands of people, including dignitaries, diplomats, and members of the press. The exhibition ran for six months and attracted over six million visitors, making it one of the most successful and influential events in history. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur and excitement of the Great Exhibition and offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of innovation, discovery, and royal pageantry.
