EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the roof of a building from the International Exhibition of 1862, held in South Kensington, London. The exhibition, which took place from 1 May to 1 November 1862, was a significant cultural event of the nineteenth century and attracted tourists and visitors from around the world. The site now houses renowned museums such as the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. The architectural feature in the print is an impressive arched structure, with intricate cast iron beams and girders forming the roof. The arches are adorned with engravings and inscriptions, adding to the intricate detail of the design.
