EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Great Exhibition of 1851, a remarkable event that showcased the pinnacle of human innovation and creativity. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, captures the bustling interior of this grand exhibition held in London. As we delve into the image, our eyes are drawn to a range of fascinating objects on display. Among them are safes, locks, and keys - symbols of security and protection. These intricate mechanisms represent not only practicality but also craftsmanship at its finest. The Chubbs fireproof safe stands proudly amidst other notable inventions such as Messers Fairbairns' patent riveting machine and Newells' patent American lock. Each item represents a unique contribution to society's progress during that era. It is evident that visitors were captivated by these innovative creations as they explored the vast exhibition hall filled with wonders from around the world. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 26th, 1851 - providing readers with a glimpse into this extraordinary event. Today, this historical print serves as a window into an important moment in history when humanity celebrated its achievements while looking towards an even brighter future.
