Description
The Great Exhibition in Colour brings together over 75 colour illustrations from one of the most significant events in Victorian history. For the first time in a single volume, these images are reproduced in full colour, offering a unique glimpse into the exhibition's many international exhibits and industrial and domestic goods on display. The book features works by prominent artists of the time, including John Absolon, Edwin Thomas Dolby, Walter Goodall, Louis Haghe, Joseph Nash, Henry Clark Pidgeon, David Roberts, William Telbin, and Thomas Harrington Wilson. This collection will fascinate anyone interested in Victorian history and the achievements of 19th-century Britain. No explanatory text accompanies the images, but a list of suggested further reading is included for those seeking to learn more about the Great Exhibition.
