Receiving goods at the International Exhibition Building, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Receiving goods at the International Exhibition Building, [South Kensington, London], 1862. Our Illustration represents a section of the busy scenes within the building of the International Exhibition which is presented by the reception of goods. The flow of packing-cases has hitherto been constant, and it has in the past week become rapid, and will of course soon become multitudinous as exhibitors begin to realise the fact that the 31st of this month [March] is the last day on which goods can be received. The principal and most numerous packages are still from the colonies and from abroad. Two enormously bulky packages have come from Prussia, one of which, it is stated, contains a wooden hut from a particular manufactory of such structures in the Rhenish provinces. From the inscription on the huge case which occupies the right foreground of our Illustration, as well as on that which is being removed from a cart on the left side, it will be seen that the goods delineated as in progress of reception are from Prussia'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

Receiving goods at the International Exhibition Building, South Kensington, London, 1862: A Moment in Time This photograph taken from the Illustrated London News in 1862, depicts a bustling scene within the International Exhibition Building as goods are being received. The exhibition, which had been attracting a constant flow of packages since its inception, was nearing its final days, with the 31st of March marked as the last day for receiving goods. The principal and most numerous packages in this image hail from the colonies and abroad. Two particularly large and bulky packages can be seen in the foreground, having been transported from Prussia. According to the inscriptions on the cases, these packages contain a wooden hut from a renowned manufactory in the Rhenish provinces of Prussia. The scene is a testament to the global reach and diversity of the International Exhibition, with goods being transported from far and wide to showcase the latest innovations, technologies, and cultural offerings from around the world. The urgency in the air is palpable, as exhibitors scramble to have their goods received before the deadline, ensuring their inclusion in this grand celebration of human achievement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a fascinating insight into the logistical challenges and excitement surrounding the receipt of goods for an international exhibition over 160 years ago.
