Furs at Exhibition: A Captivating Sight at the Crystal Palace in 1851 This evocative photograph captures the allure and excitement of the Furs display by Smith & Sons of Watling Street at the Great Exhibition of 1851, held in London's Crystal Palace. The image showcases a throng of curious visitors, their eyes fixed on the magnificent array of furs, particularly the stunning sables, meticulously arranged on tables and mannequins. The Great Exhibition, the first world's fair, was an unprecedented celebration of human ingenuity and industrial progress. Held from May to October 1851, it attracted over six million visitors from around the world. The Furs display by Smith & Sons, a renowned furrier based in London, was a highlight of the exhibition, drawing great interest from both the British public and international visitors. The sables, with their rich, glossy coats and distinctive blue-black tips, were a particular sensation. Their luxurious appearance and rarity made them a symbol of wealth and status. The artful display, with its soft lighting and elegant arrangements, further enhanced their allure, creating an irresistible draw for visitors. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the beauty and allure of natural furs held a special place in society. It also underscores the enduring appeal of the exhibition experience, with its promise of discovery, education, and entertainment.
