| | 19c crystal palace |
 | | The Crystal palace which housed it was designed by Joseph Paxton, who had been the head gardener at Chatsworth. |
 | | It's worth remembering that in a sense there were two Crystal Palaces, the original in Hyde Park, and a second in Sydenham where the original, much enlarged and using twice as much glass was moved in 1854. |
 | | Tallis's comments, which were echoed by many of his contemporaries, encapsulate some of the ways in which the Great Exhibition and the Crystal Palace served both to integrate and to segregate Victorian society along social, regional, occupational, and gender lines. |
