The Crystal Palace, from the South, (c1878). Creator: Unknown
The Crystal Palace, from the South, (c1878). The Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton for the Great Exhibition of 1851, held in Hyde Park in London. After the exhibition finished, it was dismantled and loaded onto carts, and reassembled in Sydenham, at that time a village outside London. The introduction of the sheet glass method in 1832 allowed the production of large sheets of cheap, strong glass. The Crystal Palace was the largest glass building ever created, and attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors. From Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places. The Southern Suburbs, Volume VI, by Edward Walford. [Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. London, Paris & New York, c1878]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Crystal Palace, from the South" in all its grandeur. Designed by the brilliant mind of Joseph Paxton for the Great Exhibition of 1851, this architectural marvel left a lasting impression on visitors. The Crystal Palace was constructed using large sheets of affordable yet durable glass, made possible by the sheet glass method introduced in 1832. After the exhibition concluded, this magnificent structure was dismantled and transported to Sydenham, a quaint village outside London. There it was meticulously reassembled to become a prominent tourist attraction. Standing as the largest glass building ever created, it drew crowds numbering in hundreds of thousands. Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" captured this stunning image that now serves as a testament to Victorian ingenuity and architectural prowess. The photograph captures not only the impressive exterior but also features an enchanting fountain adorning its surroundings. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece frozen in time, we are reminded of Britain's rich history and its ability to captivate both locals and tourists alike with its remarkable landmarks. This print is a window into an era where innovation met beauty seamlessly within one awe-inspiring structure - The Crystal Palace.
