Celebrating the Inauguration of the Exhibition of All Nations: A Grand Victoria Fete at Cremorne Gardens, 1851 This broadside announces the Grand Victoria Fete held at Cremorne Gardens in London on Thursday, May 1st, 1851, in honor of the inauguration of the Exhibition of All Nations by Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The Exhibition, held at the Royal Horticultural Society's gardens in South Kensington, aimed to showcase the artistic, industrial, and cultural achievements of various nations, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The image on the broadside features an ascent by balloonist John Hampton in the balloon Erin-go-Bragh, adding an element of excitement and innovation to the festivities. Balloon ascents had become a popular form of entertainment and spectacle during this period, with Tissandier and Garnerin being among the most famous aeronauts of the time. The Grand Victoria Fete at Cremorne Gardens was an integral part of the celebrations for the Exhibition of All Nations. Visitors could enjoy a day filled with music, food, and various amusements, culminating in the thrilling ascent of the Erin-go-Bragh hot air balloon. This broadside serves as a testament to the spirit of innovation, exploration, and international unity that characterized the Exhibition and its associated festivities.
