EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the past, Prince Albert stands proudly before an eager crowd as he prepares to open the Art Treasures Exhibition in Manchester on May 5, 1857. The exhibition, held in the grand iron and glass structure of the Old Trafford Palace of Fine Arts, was a groundbreaking event in British art history. Reputedly the largest art exhibition ever held in the UK, it showcased an astonishing 16,000 works of art, loaned from galleries and private collections across the country. The Prince, known for his passion for the arts and his role as patron of the Royal Academy, was an enthusiastic supporter of the exhibition. In his opening address, he emphasized the importance of art in fostering national unity and promoting cultural education. The event was a resounding success, attracting over a million visitors over the course of six months. The Old Trafford Palace of Fine Arts, with its distinctive architecture reminiscent of the Crystal Palace, provided an impressive backdrop for the occasion. The grandeur of the setting and the sense of excitement in the air are palpable in this photograph, capturing a moment in history when art and culture came together to inspire and delight the people of Manchester and beyond.
