The Crystal Palace and the Great Exhibition: Science, Art and Productive Industry: The
History of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851

The Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Crystal Palace which housed it together became a British
icon, a symbol of free trade, and a national success funded not only by taxes but by public
subscription. Though the Palace itself was banished to Sydenham, to leave Hyde Park free for
Londoners, the Commission was re-invented under Prince Albert to spend the profits for the
advancement of British industry. The Commissioners first established South Kensington with its
Museums and Colleges of Art and Science, the Albert Hall and the Royal College of Music, and
then moved into the training of scientists and artists. They assisted in the expansion of the
British School at Rome, and for over a century 1851 Scholars have been contributing to British
scientific discoveries.This book celebrates 150 years of the Commission's work, fired by the
"application of art and science to productive industry", a story of some success and permanent
record, yet a pilgrimage not without its episodes of dissension and controversy.

The Great Exhibition of 1851: A Nation on Display

The Great Exhibition of 1851', held in Londons spectacular Crystal Palace, was the first worlds
fair and the first industrial exhibition. It was also much more, Jeffrey Auerbach demonstrates in
this book - the Great Exhibition was the single defining event for nineteenth-century Britons
between the Battle of Waterloo (1815) and the Diamond Jubilee (1897). Enhanced by dozens of
illustrations, this wide-ranging account of the Great Exhibition reveals for the first time how the
extraordinary occasion was conceived and planned, why it was such an unexpected success,
what it actually meant to the millions of Britons who visited it, and what it came to mean in
later generations.

Religion and the Great Exhibition of 1851

The Great Exhibition of 1851 is routinely portrayed as a manifestly secular event which was
confined to celebrating the success of science, technology, and manufacturing in the mid-
Victorian age. Geoffrey Cantor presents an innovative reappraisal of the Exhibition,
demonstrating that it was widely understood by contemporaries to possess a religious
dimension and that it generated controversy among religious groups. Prince Albert bestowed
legitimacy on the Exhibition by proclaiming it to be a display of divine providence whilst others
interpreted it as a sign of the coming Apocalypse. With anti-Catholic feeling running high
following the recent 'papal aggression', many Protestants roundly condemned those exhibits
associated with Catholicism and some even denounced the Exhibition as a Papist plot.
Catholics, for their part, criticized the Exhibition as a further example of religious repression.
Several evangelical religious organisations energetically rose to the occasion, considering the
Exhibition to be a divinely ordained opportunity to make converts, especially among 'heathens'
and foreigners. Jews generally welcomed the Exhibition, as did Unitarians, Quakers,
Congregationalists, and a wide spectrum of Anglicans - but all for different reasons. Cantor
explores this diversity of perception through contemporary sermons, and, most importantly,
the highly differentiated religious press. Taken all together these religious responses to the
Exhibition shed fresh light on a crucial mid-century event.
