The scene shows a group of people frantically running to catch a bus that is headed towards the exhibition at Crystal Palace in 1851. The sense of urgency and excitement is palpable as individuals from all walks of life are seen sprinting towards their destination.
The Crystal Palace exhibition was a significant event in British history, showcasing the latest innovations and technologies of the time.
