This review is from: The Crystal Palace Exhibition Illustrated Catalogue (Learning Series, Monograph 1) (Paperback)

The The Crystal Palace Exhibition Illustrated Catalogue (Dover Pictorial Archive Series) faithfully reproduces the original catalogue's text and engravings, an amazing collection of Victorian-era manufactured products exhibited at the great world trade exhibition of 1851. The reader will marvel at many of the bygone, ornate objects depicted, and the visual detail is so fine, it could serve as a treasure trove of royalty-free clip-art.
