EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1864, captures the awe-inspiring exterior of the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, London during the height of the Great Exhibition. Visitors are seen gathered outside the colossal glass structure, their attention drawn to the magnificent Shakespeare monument situated at the entrance. Designed by the renowned sculptor J.W. Thomas, this imposing statue was erected as a commemoration to the great bard, William Shakespeare. The monument, with its intricate details and lifelike depiction of the playwright, stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Shakespeare's works on the world. The Crystal Palace, with its innovative design and architectural brilliance, provided the perfect setting for this grand tribute to the father of English literature. The glass walls of the exhibition building reflect the vibrant energy of the crowd, adding an extra layer of intrigue and wonder to this scene.
