Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tallis´s Illustrated London; In Commemoration of the Great Exhibition of All Nations in 1851, Vol. 1: Forming a Complete Guide to the British Metropolis and Its Environs London is upon the eve of a great national festival, surpassing in importance all former celebrations, more valuable from the impressions it will leave, and, in its nature, peculiarly adapted to display the appropriateness of selecting the British capital to be the emporium of the world´s industry. The popular idea of bringing into one I common centre, and placing together in friendly competition, the various creations of human ingenuity, the combined results proceeding from the action of mind upon matter, as exhibited in the manifold productions of the nations of the globe, emanated from a Prince - the august consort of her Majesty. In other times, and in other countries, rarely has royalty condescended to promote a popular movement, still less to originate a plan to develop the mental capacities and industrial resources of the people at large.
