Book Description
This book brings together more than 75 colour illustrations of the Great Exhibition of 1851, produced by several contemporary Victorian artists, for the first time in one volume. The images are reproduced in full colour, making this the most complete visual account of the exhibition available. Originally published across three different volumes, the images in this book give modern readers the closest possible experience to being present at the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park. Scenes explore the many international exhibits, particularly from India and across Europe and the Americas, as well as the industrial and domestic goods produced by the powerhouses of British manufacture. The artists featured include: John Absolon (1815-95), Edwin Thomas Dolby (fl 1849-70), Walter Goodall (1830-1889), Louis Haghe (1806-1885), Joseph Nash (1809-78), Henry Clark Pidgeon (1807-1880), David Roberts (1796-1864), William Telbin (1813-1873) and Thomas Harrington Wilson (fl 1842-1886). This book will fascinate anyone with an interest in Victorian history and the achievements of the 19th century British Empire. (Note: this book does not include explanatory text about the Great Exhibition, beyond image captions, but a list of suggested further reading is included.)

Photography and the 1851 Great Exhibition
Author: Anthony Hamber
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781851779833
Category : Great Exhibition
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
The first comprehensive study of the diverse role and impact of photography at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, drawing together two decades of research to create a broader understanding of the step-change in image making and distribution represented by The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations - the genesis of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.0While the Great Exhibition has received a variety of examinations, its role in exhibiting and furthering the cause and exploitation of photography and its impact on illustration has been largely underappreciated. More broadly, 1851 saw a massive change in information management: in the creation and dissemination of visually based graphic information characterized by images of the building, its contents and their display that collectively constituted the Great Exhibition. Photography played a critical role in this quantum leap.00Exhibition: V&A Photography Centre, London, UK (October 2018).

Pages : 300
Book Description
"The book challenges the common view that the Exhibition symbolized peace, progress, prosperity, and the emergence of an industrial middle class. Auerbach suggests instead that the Great Exhibition became a cultural battlefield on which proponents of different visions of industrialization, modernization, and internationalism fought for ascendancy in the struggle for a new national identity."--BOOK JACKET.
