LONDON CRYSTAL PALACE-GREAT EXHIBITION, 1851

Quality Limited Edition Print Only = AUD$215 including Limited certificate with history of this mid nineteenth century icon.

From an original hand coloured lithograph by Edmund Walker (fl. Mid 1800’s) & published by “Lithographer’s to the Queen” Day & Son , 1851, to promote the an amazing spectacle known as the GREAT EXHIBITION of 1851. Originally erected in Hyde Park in London, Crystal Palace embodied the products of many countries throughout the world. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in the Palace's 990,000 square feet (92,000m2) of exhibition space to display examples of the latest technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Planners also sought simplicity of construction and speed as the venue was to be erected in a Royal Park. A myriad of designs were published in the London newspapers but they received all reqirements with Paxton's ideas: no permanent foundation were required. Edmund Walker designed and lithographed this advertisement printed by the “Lithographers to the Queen”, Day & Son. This projection of the Palace's transept, is but a miniscule example of the many delectations celebrated and promoted along with the mechanical advances that enable such production. No trees were required to be removed so living elm trees in the park were enclosed within the central exhibition hall near the 27-foot (8m) tall Crystal Fountain. Unable to remain in the Royal Park its metal and glass structure was able to be moved to a new park in a high, healthy and affluent area of London called Sydenham Hill. Crystal Palace was enlarged and stood in the area from 1854 to 1936. It attracted many thousands of visitors from all levels of society. The name Crystal Palace was later used to denote this area of south London and the park. International visitors flocked to the Crystal Palace as local villages were placed in a visiting cycle, usually organised through regional church bodies. It soon became a symbol of modernity and civilization, Praised by many and decried by others. Interestingly, the Eiffel Tower suffered the same fate. During World War I, it was used as a naval training establishment under the name of HMS Victory VI, informally known as HMS Crystal Palace. Despite attempts to revive The Crystal Palace, on 30 November 1936 came the final catastrophe - fire. Within hours the Palace was destroyed. Yet it will live in the memories not only of Englishmen, but the whole world. The South Tower had been used for tests by television pioneer John Logie Baird for his mechanical television experiments, and much of his work was destroyed in the fire. Winston Churchill, on his way home from the House of Commons lamented , “this is an end of an age”. In hindsight it would not have survived the Blitz. In fact, inability to black out its immensity, the Crystal Palace would have been a Luftwaffe signpost to all the most important London targets. Compiled by Sandra J.

MILITARIA

Charge of the Light Brigade. Crimean War

Code:LECW1

Pl. 29
Crimea War 1853-1856
"Charge of the Light Cavalry Brigade 25th October, 1854"

From the original tri-tinted lithograph by Edmund Walker after William Simpson, R.I., FRGS (1823-1899).
Simpson could rightly claim to have been the first Special Artist War Correspondent in action. Born in Glasgow where he did his apprenticeship in lithography, Simpson later moved to Day and Sons in London, a prominent firm producing prints By Appointment to Queen Victoria. His first major commission was to prepare drawings for a lithographic series to be published on the war with Russia and he was dispatched to the Baltic and Crimea itself in 1854. The Crimean war was Britain’s first major military conflict since the conclusion of the long Napoleonic Wars at Waterloo in 1815. For the first time newspaper correspondents with unrestricted access gave the public at home an account of war beyond the patriotism and bright uniforms, of poor leadership, inadequate supplies and appalling medical services. In the same way Simpson shows us not only the uniforms, valor and glory but the cold, mud and boredom. In the midst of war and destruction he also illustrates a Crimea rich in history, scenery and archaeological interest. His series, The Seat of War in The East remains the most comprehensive visual record of the Crimean Campaign. Each plate has it’s own individual date of publication as the sketches, watercolours etc. were sent back for the trained lithographer at Day & son to interpret, in mirror image, onto stone and then to be printed by the process that will be explained in the following paragraphs. Ultimately the subscriber to this series could take the images he had purchase and, on binding recommendations of the publisher, have them bound into a Volume/s. This was at discretion of the individual.

The original was an important map engraved by Emanuel Bowen which was published in London between 1744 & 1748
This map was powerful when translated because of its content (shows north, west and south coasts of Australia and parts of New Zealand discovered or sighted by Tasman’s 1642-44 voyage), mercantile-colonial message (suggesting that colonization will confer boundless riches to whom ever settles it) and that it made information about Dutch discoveries on the Australian coast prior to 1650 freely available in Britain (although retaining names in Dutch). Its source was 80 years old, but it is the first map printed in Britain solely devoted to Australia and New Guinea and accompanied with English text describing the voyages that shaped it. The British Admiralty began to take action that resulted in Captain Cook's three voyages to the South Pole and the Pacific...

Throughout the Baudin Voyage the naturalists collected an estimated 250,000 zoological and botanical specimens. Among these wonders where great amounts of Jellyfish. The problem was that they were almost beyond literal description. Both Lesueur and Nicholas Martin Petit had to greatly lift their skills. Or course, a similar challenge awaited the engravers, Choubard and Lambert, at the end of the Expedition, the result of which can be seen here. Nicholas Baudin wrote of the Molluscs and Jellyfish collected and drawn ...without a doubt, when people see them they will have great difficulty believing that such creatures exist, for with many we have found greater similarities to a beautiful flower than to a living animal..
