EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating back to 1862, captures a moment in history as the builders of the International Exhibition Building in London pose for a portrait. The esteemed group includes Mr. Charles Lucas, Mr. Kelk (John Kelk), and Mr. Thomas Lucas. The Lucas Brothers, led by Charles Thomas Lucas and his elder brother Charles Lucas, were the chosen contractors for the construction of the International Exhibition Building and the South Kensington Exhibitions of 1867 and 1871. They collaborated with Sir John Kelk, a prominent figure in British industry and politics, to bring these significant cultural events to life. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as the Great London Exposition, was an industrial, art, and cultural event that attracted visitors from around the world. The exhibition showcased the latest advancements in various industries, including engineering, technology, and art. The construction of the exhibition building required a great deal of planning, organization, and hard work, which the Lucas Brothers and Sir John Kelk executed with precision and dedication. This photograph is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit and ingenuity of the Lucas Brothers and Sir John Kelk. Their professional collaboration resulted in the successful completion of the International Exhibition Building, which became a symbol of British innovation and progress during the 19th century. The image captures the men in their roles as builders, businessmen, and entrepreneurs, dressed in their finest attire, reflecting the pride and accomplishment they felt in their work. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the people and events that shaped the cultural landscape of 19th century Britain.
