An extensive study of the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London, the international exposition of the arts and industry sponsored by the British Government and private supporters. Illustrated with over 140 steel engravings reproduced from daguerreotypes by Beard and Mayall, this work is an illustrated history of the Palace as well as the contributions of the 19 member nations who exhibited the best of their cultural creations both from the past and present. Perhaps the most important part of this three volume set is the text which describes in detail the origins of the exhibition, the vision of Prince Albert, and dedication of the inventor Henry Cole who oversaw much of the project.
