EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the grandeur of the Crystal Palace in London during the Great Exhibition of 1851. Captured by Hugh Owen, this photograph showcases the intricate architecture and design of this iconic building. The image transports us inside the transept, where we are greeted with an awe-inspiring sight. The cast iron structure rises majestically towards a glass roof that allows natural light to flood in, illuminating every detail. The symmetrical composition draws our eyes towards a magnificent fountain at its center, adding a touch of elegance to the already breathtaking scene. Owen's skillful use of photography enhances the contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing both delicate sculptures adorning the walls and sturdy metal beams supporting this architectural marvel. It serves as a testament to Britain's industrial prowess during this era. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only an extraordinary event but also represents an important milestone in British history. This salted paper print from paper negative now finds its place within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection – preserving not just Owen's artistry but also our shared heritage for generations to come.
