On each side are grouped the occupants of the estrade which was placed beneath the orchestra, and a view given of that portion of the galleries which look at the dome filled with spectators who, more fortunate than most of the occupants of places a short way beyond the dome, could both see and hear satisfactorily'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The International Exhibition: view from the orchestra on the opening day' by the London Stereoscopic Company, dates back to 1862. The image offers a unique perspective of the grandeur and spectacle of the event, as it captures the scene during a musical performance beneath the eastern dome of the exhibition. The photograph provides a bird's-eye view of the distinguished guests in attendance, including the Queen's commissioners - the Duke of Cambridge, the Crown Prince of Prussia, Prince Oscar of Sweden, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Lord Chancellor - seated in the foreground. In front of them, the commissioners of the exhibition and other principal personages are visible, with the Bishop of Londonderry standing out prominently. The unfinished Minton's majolica fountain, filled with flowering plants for the occasion, can be seen in the foreground. The occupants of the estrade, placed beneath the orchestra, are grouped on either side, offering a glimpse of the galleries filled with spectators. These fortunate visitors, who could both see and hear the performance satisfactorily, are a stark contrast to those further beyond the dome who had less desirable viewing positions. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the International Exhibition, which attracted visitors from all corners of the world and showcased the latest advancements in science, technology, and the arts. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the elite and the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of the exhibition.
