EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Crystal Palace FF91_00333," transports us back to the Victorian era and the awe-inspiring Crystal Palace located in Sydenham, London. The image showcases the grandeur of the Tropical transept at the north end of the palace, where colossal figures of the Egyptian pharaoh Rameses II, replicated from the temple at Abu Simbel, stand proudly. These magnificent statues, hand-colored and meticulously reproduced, are a testament to the intricate decorative scheme devised by Owen Jones. The photograph was most likely captured by the renowned Victorian photographer, Philip Henry Delamotte, between 1854 and 1866. Delamotte's expertise is evident in the clarity and detail of the image, which highlights the harmonious blend of architectural elements, including the intricate iron work, glass, and statues. The glass panels, bathed in natural light, create an ethereal atmosphere, while the iron work adds a robust and industrial touch to the otherwise delicate and ornate design. The Crystal Palace, a symbol of Victorian innovation and engineering prowess, was a must-see attraction during this period. Delamotte's photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur and intricacy of this historic structure. This image is not only a valuable document of the past but also a testament to the artistic and technological achievements of the Victorian era.
