The Building in Hyde Park, for the Great Exhibition of 1851 - Base of Column, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Building in Hyde Park, for the Great Exhibition of 1851 - Base of Column, 1850....the construction of drainage is shown. On the left is seen the melting-pot containing the lead for making the joints of the horizontal water-pipes, which are 6 inches internal diameter, and running underground in the direction of the length of the building, towards the brick culvert at the east end thereof. These horizontal pipes will receive the water from the gutters through the cast-iron columns which support the roofs of the building. A man is seen in the act of pouring in the lead to make the joints....The base of the socket rests on a bed of concrete, made of gravel and lime...the thickness of concrete varies with the depth of the bed of gravel, which extends under the whole of the ground; thus a very firm natural foundation is obtained'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a pivotal moment during the construction of The Building in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The image, created in 1850, showcases the base of a column undergoing the meticulous process of drainage installation. On the left side, a man is seen pouring molten lead into a melting-pot to make the joints of the horizontal water-pipes. These pipes, with a 6-inch internal diameter, run underground in the direction of the building's length towards the brick culvert at the east end. The base of the socket rests on a bed of concrete, made of gravel and lime. The thickness of the concrete varies with the depth of the bed of gravel, ensuring a firm natural foundation. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the industrial revolution, showcasing the innovative construction techniques used during the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, under the leadership of Sir Joseph Paxton. The event, held in London, England, United Kingdom, marked a significant milestone in the cultural and technological history of the Victorian era. This image, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a fascinating insight into the construction industry during this period, with workers pouring lead, preparing the foundation, and contributing to the grandeur of the Great Exhibition of 1851.
