Magazine Antiques: The Art Treasures Exhibition, Manchester, 1857 The most influential advocate was Thomas Fairbairn (1823-1891), the commissioner of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations (Crystal Palace Exhibition) in London in 1851, and the chairman of the organizing committee for the Manchester exhibition. A major concern of mid-Victorian Britain was the relationship between art and industry. The main exhibition hall was a vast iron and glass structure not unlike a railway shed, with a decorative brick facade designed by Edward Salomons (1828-1906), a local architect. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1026/is_6_159/ai_111453726

Great Exhibition Collection The Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, popularly known almost from its inception as the Great Exhibition, was held in London from 1 May to 11 October, 1851. Although the focus of the Collection is the Exhibition of 1851, there is also material concerning the re-erection of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham in 1854, where it became a great entertainment centre, and material pertaining to subsequent exhibitions down to the Festival of Britain and the Millennium.. The idea for an exhibition originated in the work of Henry Cole and the Royal Society of Arts, and was inspired by French national exhibitions. www.library.rdg.ac.uk /colls/special/greatexhibit.html

NYPL, Moving Uptown Exhibition Inspired by the Crystal Palace of London, the New York Crystal Palace for the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations was built for the 1853 World's Fair on a site behind the Croton Reservoir, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues on 42nd Street (today's Bryant Park). In 1853 and 1854, Franconi's Hippodrome, a wood and canvas-roofed building with brick walls at Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and 23rd Street, presented a variety of circus acts: chariot, ostrich, and pony races, gladiatorial contests, pageants, and trapeze acts. The Latting Observatory, an octagonal tower of timber braced with iron, was equipped with the first passenger elevator in New York City, a steam-powered lift that ascended to the first and second landings. www.nypl.org /research/chss/spe/art/print/exhibits/movingup/labeliv.htm

The exhibition made a substantial profit of £186,000, and when its affairs were wound up the commissioners remained a permanent body under a supplemental charter to administer the surplus funds to 'increase the means of industrial education and extend the influence of science and art upon productive industry'.

New York 1853 On July 14, 1853, the Great Exhibition of Art and Industry began in New York City, New York, with the commemoration of the Crystal Palace, the central exhibition hall. Following the success of the London fair, it was inevitable that other nations would soon try their hand at organizing their own exhibitions. This fair would have its own Crystal Palace to symbolize not only the achievements of the world, but also the nationalistic pride of a relatively young nation and all that she stood for. www.lib.umd.edu /ARCH/honr219f/1853nyci.html
