EDITORS COMMENTS
The Opening of the Great Exhibition by Queen Victoria on 1 May 1851, captured in this stunning print by artist Henry Courtney Selous, transports us back to a significant moment in history. Set against the backdrop of Hyde Park's lush greenery and towering trees, the Crystal Palace stands as a symbol of innovation and progress. In this vibrant depiction, we witness the grandeur of the event unfold before our eyes. The British monarch herself, Queen Victoria, elegantly presides over the ceremony alongside her beloved Prince Albert. Dressed in regal attire, they embody the power and grace of their reign. The painting showcases not only royalty but also an array of distinguished guests from all walks of life who have gathered to celebrate art and industry. Their presence signifies unity and collaboration on a global scale. Selous masterfully captures every detail – from the intricate architecture of Westminster Palace to the colorful garments worn by attendees – bringing this historic occasion to life with vivid strokes. This print serves as a testament to Britain's rich cultural heritage during the 19th century. It reminds us that through exhibitions like these, nations can come together to showcase their achievements while fostering creativity and mutual understanding.
