Légende

'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]
