EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to witness a momentous occasion as Queen Victoria inaugurates The Great Exposition in Hyde Park, 1851. Captured by the talented artist Henry Courtney Selous, this print transports us to a bustling crowd-filled day in 19th century England. The image showcases the grandeur of British culture and highlights the significance of arts, culture, and entertainment during that era. As we gaze upon the scene, we are drawn to Queen Victoria herself - regal and poised - as she takes center stage amidst a sea of men and women dressed in historical clothing. The magnificent Crystal Palace stands tall behind her, symbolizing innovation and progress. Its intricate design reflects Victorian style at its finest while providing an awe-inspiring backdrop for this historic event. Notably, Selous' attention to detail is evident throughout the painting. From the lush green trees surrounding Hyde Park to every individual step on which attendees stand with anticipation, each element adds depth and realism to this remarkable illustration. This print serves as both a window into history and an homage to one of London's most iconic landmarks. It invites us to marvel at the past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
