EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored lithograph takes us back to the grandeur of The Great Exhibition in 1851. Titled "The British Department viewed from the Transept" this print offers a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of one of history's most iconic international fairs. Set within London's Hyde Park, the Crystal Palace stands tall and majestic, housing an array of exhibits that showcase Britain's industrial prowess during the Victorian era. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert themselves were patrons of this extraordinary event, which aimed to celebrate innovation and progress. As we delve into this image, our eyes are drawn to the intricate sculptures adorning the galleries, adding a touch of classical elegance amidst all the technological marvels. Sailboats glide gracefully on a nearby body of water, reminding us that Britain was not only an industrial powerhouse but also a nation with deep maritime roots.
