EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the construction of the transept in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851, as depicted in an engraving from the Illustrated London News in 1850. The transept, a later addition to Sir Joseph Paxton's original design, was built to protect the stately trees lining the park. The structure is supported by twelve massive semicircular ribs of timber, each made up of six sections, three horizontal and three vertical. The clear space above the trees is estimated to be approximately 18 feet 6 inches. The industrial revolution was in full swing during this period, and the use of cast iron and metal frameworks was becoming increasingly popular in construction. The workers, both men and women, can be seen diligently working on the site, showcasing the technological advancements of the time. The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, also known as the Crystal Palace Exhibition, was a cultural event that showcased the best of industry from around the world. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the construction process of this iconic building and the people involved in bringing it to life.
