In May 1851, the doors opened on the Great Exhibition, a celebration of British industry & international trade that spawned numerous imitations across the globe. The scale of the exhibition was immense & publishers responded quickly to the demand for catalogues, guidebooks & souvenir volumes. In a marketplace swamped with exhibition literature, Tallis' three-volume work quickly established itself as the definitive history for middle-class readers. Illustrated with high-quality steel-engraved plates of the most popular exhibits, Tallis' book provides a fascinating contemporary account of this cultural & commercial highlight of the Victorian age, & reveals the mind-set of a society at the peak of its imperial power. Volume 1 describes the preparations for the exhibition & focuses on the 'foreign & colonial' departments & the decorative arts.
