EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the planning process for the Great Exhibition of 1851, held in London's Crystal Palace. In the image, Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria, stands alongside the Lord Mayor of London at the Mansion House. Surrounded by a sea of leading merchants and manufacturers, they invite these influential figures to support the Exhibition project. The Levee, an ancient ceremonial reception, was a significant event in British society, and this occasion marked a crucial step in the organization of the Exhibition. The gathering at the Mansion House brought together some of the most prominent figures in trade and industry, providing an opportunity for them to engage with the Royal Family and express their commitment to the groundbreaking event. The Great Exhibition, which opened in May 1851, was the first World's Fair and showcased the latest advancements in science, technology, and art from around the world. The success of the Exhibition played a significant role in boosting Britain's reputation as a global leader in innovation and industrial prowess. This photograph offers a glimpse into the intricate planning and collaboration that went into making the Great Exhibition a reality. It underscores the importance of the connections forged between the monarchy, the business community, and the public during this period, as they came together to celebrate human achievement and progress.
