The Crystal Palace; Hyde Park, London, 1851 (First Photographs) + The World’s (Un)Fair Narrative

Today we will dive into the first photographs of the short lived Crystal Palace of 1851, said to be constructed in less than eight months, which served as the location for the very first World’s Fair in history. The Crystal Palace was the largest glass building ever constructed upon completion, but furthermore, after the six month long World’s Fair in London, the Crystal Palace was supposedly moved, piece by piece, and rebuilt in Sydenham from 1852 through 1854. The true nature of the original Crystal Palace is still up for debate, as only a handful of photographs survive of the structure. We will look through these images today, attributed mostly to Philip Henry Delemotte, who was commissioned to photograph the process. Let’s see what we can deduce from these images.
