Description
A Good Day Out by Murray Steele The Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851 marked the beginning of a series of large exhibitions in Victorian England, showcasing industrial and artistic progress. This illustrated booklet explores the evolution of these massive events throughout a period of rapid social change. As cheap public transport and shorter working hours created a desire for entertainment, rather than instruction, working people flocked to exhibitions. Using contemporary newspapers and records, this book provides an insight into the organisation and attractions of these shows, offering a unique perspective on English society during the Victorian era. This book will appeal to those interested in the staging of major public events during Queen Victoria's reign, particularly those looking for a historical account of the exhibitions that took place in Northern locations between 1851 and 1887.
