EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the Crystal Palace Alhambra in Sydenham, London, built in 1860. The Alhambra Court at the Crystal Palace was modelled after the famous Court of the Lions in the Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain. This magnificent structure was a major attraction during the Great Exhibition of 1851, which brought together the finest examples of art, industry, and design from around the world in Britain. The Alhambra Court, with its intricate Moorish architecture, was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Victorian era. The court was adorned with stunning mosaics, ornate arches, and the iconic twelve lions that guarded the entrance. These lions, crafted from alabaster, were a replica of the original lions in the Alhambra, Spain. The Crystal Palace itself was a temporary structure, built for the Great Exhibition and later moved to Sydenham in 1854. However, the Alhambra Court remained a popular attraction and was eventually rebuilt in a permanent form in 1874. This photograph, taken in 1860, provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and exoticism of the Alhambra Court at the Crystal Palace. The Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, was a royal palace and fortress complex that dates back to the 13th century. It is renowned for its stunning architecture, intricate decoration, and beautiful gardens. The Court of the Lions, with its famous fountain and twelve lions, is one of the most famous and iconic features of the Alhambra. This photograph captures the essence of the Alhambra's beauty and brings a piece of Spanish history to life in the heart of London.
