EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the construction of the International Exhibition in 1862. Taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The photo offers a glimpse into the bustling interior of the building site at South Kensington. Workers can be seen unpacking boxes and preparing exhibits for what would become one of London's greatest expositions - the Great London Exposition. In true Victorian fashion, this photograph showcases both the grandeur and meticulousness that went into creating such an event. The hall is filled with crates and equipment, hinting at the immense scale of preparation required to bring together exhibits from around the world. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how photography has allowed us to capture moments that might otherwise have been forgotten. This particular image was taken during a World's Fair, which served as not only a showcase for technological advancements but also as an opportunity for nations to come together and celebrate human achievement. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this historical document today. It transports us back to an era when innovation was celebrated on a global stage and reminds us of our collective progress throughout time.
