EDITORS COMMENTS
Mayhew's Great Exhibition of 1851: The First Shilling Day - Going In, 1851 (etching) captures the vibrant chaos and social commentary of Victorian England. In this satirical piece by George Cruikshank, we are transported to the bustling entrance of the Crystal Palace, where a reduced entrance fee has attracted a diverse crowd. The lower working class is depicted in their finest attire, donning hats and boots as they push and shove their way towards the ticket office. The scene is filled with madness and mayhem as uneducated visitors jostle for entry into this grand spectacle. Cruikshank's sharp wit shines through in his portrayal of this stampede-like atmosphere. Through cleverly exaggerated figures and chaotic composition, he offers a scathing critique on societal class divisions during that era. This etching serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It transports us back to an important moment in British history when the Great Exhibition showcased technological advancements from around the world. But beyond its historical significance, it also reminds us of the enduring power of satire to shed light on societal issues. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art, Mayhew's Great Exhibition print continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and thought-provoking narrative. It invites us to reflect on our own society while appreciating Cruikshank's masterful storytelling.
