The Universal Exhibition, held from May 1 to October 15, 1851, was a landmark event in the history of fine art, industry, and culture, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The design, a stunning example of lithography, showcases the Crystal Palace, the iconic glass structure housing the exhibition, with its intricate details and grandeur.

The Midland Railway Company, known for its innovative approach to tourism and travel, offered special excursion trains to transport visitors to the exhibition.
