EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1854, offers a unique glimpse into the construction process of the iconic Crystal Palace at Sydenham, as it was being rebuilt after the original structure burnt down in 1936. The Crystal Palace, an architectural marvel of its time, was first erected in Hyde Park, London, for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Its innovative design, featuring an iron and glass structure, showcased the latest advancements in manufacturing and engineering. After the exhibition, the palace was dismantled and rebuilt in Sydenham, South London, where it became a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of British innovation and progress. In this image, we see the palace taking shape against the backdrop of the lush, landscaped garden front. Workers can be seen constructing the iron framework, while others lay bricks and lay the foundation. The intricate details of the palace's design are evident, from the ornate ironwork to the delicate glass panels. The garden front, which is also being landscaped in this photograph, would eventually become a beautiful and expansive green space, complete with fountains, sculptures, and gardens. The Crystal Palace and its surrounding grounds were a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the beauty of nature, and this photograph captures the essence of that vision as it was being brought to life in 1854.
