Unlike the 1851 and 1854 exhibitions, the International Exhibition of 1862 was housed in a substantially brick-built construction with iron and glass domes. It was built on the site of the present Natural History Museum in South Kensington, and opened on 1 May. The ceremony was performed by the Duke of Cambridge because Victoria was in mourning for Albert who had died the previous winter.); © Elton Collection, Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grand International Lancers, 1862, captured in this stunning chromolithograph by Thomas Packer, transports us back to a time of grandeur and elegance. The scene depicted on the sheet music cover for 'The Grand International Lancers' by C.C. Amos showcases a large crowd gathered to watch a procession pass the exhibition building of the International Exhibition in 1862.
This historical print offers a glimpse into the opening ceremony of the exhibition, held at South Kensington's present-day Natural History Museum site. The impressive brick-built construction with iron and glass domes served as the backdrop for this momentous event.
As we study the intricate details of Packer's lithograph, we can almost hear the sounds of trumpets blaring and see the colorful uniforms of the lancers marching proudly past onlookers. The Duke of Cambridge presided over this ceremony in place of Queen Victoria, who was still mourning her beloved Prince Albert.
With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print serves as a reminder of an era when grand spectacles like international exhibitions brought people together to celebrate art, culture, and innovation. It is truly a piece that captures both history and beauty in equal measure.
