About this Item
Description:
View. Color lithograph. 24 x 37 inches. Margins cropped and title removed from previous framing, some foxing and toning. New York, Seitz: 1853. Beautiful view depicting a large crowd of visitors standing in front of the New York Crystal Palace, a glass and iron structure with a central dome. The United States flag flies from the top of the main dome; flags from other countries fly from corner turrets. At the left is a tall conical tower, the Latting Observatory, which was then the tallest structure in New York. The Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations was a World's Fair held in 1853 in what is now Bryant Park in New York City, in the wake of the highly successful 1851 Great Exhibition in London. The building burned down in 1858. Printed by M. Balin. Hard to find and sold as is. Seller Inventory # 315077
