The Great Exhibition 1851 - A Commemorative Album

Victoria and Albert Museum 1950. Paperback. First edition.

The story of The Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace told in the words of contemporary Victorians with many details of the exhibition itself, the building and the items and exhibits it contained. Produced by The Victoria and Albert Museum to mark its Centenary. Items purchased from The Great Exhibition formed the nucleus around which the Victoria and Albert museum was formed.

Contains a Marks and Spencers bookplate that seems to indicate it once belonged to their library.

Condition: Back cover has completely detached but it still present. Very worn and tatty but all the pages are still bound together. A fascinating piece of social history.

Dimensions: 8" x 8"
