EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and excitement of the opening of the new Alexandra Palace in Muswell Hill on 1st May 1875. The image, hand-coloured later, is a testament to the architectural marvels of 19th-century Britain. The scene depicted is bustling with activity as spectators fill the crowded streets surrounding the magnificent palace. The interior panorama reveals a stunning view of the ornate architecture, with its archways and elevated views that showcase both artistry and engineering prowess. Amidst this lively atmosphere, one's attention is drawn to a majestic musical instrument – an organ – which takes center stage within this opulent setting. Its presence hints at the importance music played in society during this era. Originally featured in The Illustrated London News on 8th May 1875, this engraving provides viewers with a glimpse into history. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Alexandra Palace but also its significance as a cultural hub for arts and entertainment. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by an unknown creator from Heritage Images, we are transported back to a time when grand openings were celebrated extravagantly. This image serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and invites us to imagine ourselves among those fortunate enough to witness such an awe-inspiring event firsthand.
