This chromolithograph captures the grandeur and excitement of the Opening of the International Exhibition in 1862. The image showcases the magnificent Crystal Palace, an architectural marvel that housed this momentous event in London. Designed by Queen Victoria's cousin, George, Duke of Cambridge, this glass and iron framework stands tall against a vibrant backdrop. The exhibition hall is filled with a colorful crowd representing various nations and trades from around the world. People from all walks of life have gathered to witness this historic occasion.
