EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "South Kensington Museum" takes us back to the 19th century when this iconic institution was still in its early days. The print showcases the grand entrance of the museum, with Prince Consort Albert himself inspecting the grounds alongside a group of commissioners. The image offers a glimpse into the bustling activity surrounding the museum during that time. In one corner, we see a model of what appears to be Madame Celeste's house, exhibited as part of an earlier world exhibition. On another side, workers are seen clearing debris from the 1851 Exhibition Memorial erected in honor of London's groundbreaking international exhibition. The sheepshanks gallery stands proudly in view, while visitors can be spotted enjoying refreshments inside Victoria's Refreshment Room. Boilers emit steam in the background, reminding us that this was an era driven by industrial progress and innovation. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot captured by an English School artist for The Graphic magazine on May 20th, 1899; it becomes evident how South Kensington Museum played a pivotal role in showcasing art and culture to eager audiences. Today known as the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), it continues to stand as a testament to human creativity and serves as a beacon for all those seeking inspiration from centuries past.
