This print depicts a section of a lean-to hothouse from the International Exhibition of 1862, as illustrated in the Illustrated London News. The International Exhibition, also known as the Great London Exposition, was a cultural event held in South Kensington, London, showcasing the latest advancements in technology, art, and industry from around the world. This hothouse, with its impressive glass construction, is a testament to the improvements made in greenhouse technology during the 19th century. The lean-to design allows for the efficient use of space and natural light, while the glass panels provide insulation, maintaining the optimal temperature for tropical plants. The intricate diagram at the bottom of the print reveals the inner workings of this architectural marvel, with its heating system and ventilation mechanisms. The hothouse was a popular attraction at the exhibition, representing the growing interest in horticulture and the exploration of new ways to cultivate exotic plants in Britain. This print, from the archives of The Print Collector, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating look at the technological innovations of the time and the enduring allure of the botanical world. The International Exhibition of 1862 marked a turning point in the history of greenhouses, paving the way for the development of more advanced and efficient structures that continue to be used in horticulture today.
