EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The International Exhibition - View in the Natal Court, 1862' by Mason Jackson, offers a glimpse into the wonders of the Great London Exposition of 1862. Held from May 1 to November 1, 1862, in South Kensington, London, the site now renowned as the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, played host to an extraordinary display of global culture, innovation, and natural history. In this image, visitors are seen engrossed in the intriguing exhibits of the Natal Court, which showcased the diverse flora, fauna, and cultural artifacts from South Africa. The scene is dominated by an impressive array of antlers, hides, and taxidermied animals, including an armadillo, leopard, and feline, which would have been a novelty to many European visitors. A model of a covered wagon adds to the authentic South African atmosphere, while a Boer man and woman, dressed in traditional apparel, pose for the camera. The couple's hats adorned with ostrich feathers and the man's leather vest, embellished with intricate beadwork, are fine examples of the fashionable clothing of the time. This photograph, originally published in the Illustrated London News, provides a fascinating window into the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the cultural exchange and exploration that characterized the International Exhibition of 1862.
