EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the grandeur and magnificence of the Great Exhibition of 1851, a landmark event in London's history. Organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert, with Joseph Paxton as the mastermind behind its structural design, this exhibition took place in Hyde Park from May to October 1851. The image showcases the iconic Crystal Palace Exhibition building, an architectural marvel made entirely of cast iron and glass. Its sheer size and intricate detailing are awe-inspiring even today. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this historical moment frozen in time. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we notice flags fluttering proudly atop the palace facade, symbolizing international unity and cultural exchange that were at the heart of this exposition. People can be seen strolling around outside - men, women, children - all captivated by what lies within those crystal walls. This image not only offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era Britain but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress. It reminds us how one event brought together people from all walks of life to celebrate industry, artistry, innovation, and culture. Preserved through time by Edward Walford's narrative lens in "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History" this print allows us to travel back in time and witness firsthand one of London's most significant historical landmarks – an enduring symbol that continues to inspire generations till date.
