Edwin Thomas Dolby painted this watercolour in 1851. It shows church furnishings from the Great Exhibition that year. The work is part of a set turned into colour lithographs for a souvenir book. The Great Exhibition drew over six million visitors to the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park. Profits paid for buildings that later became the Victoria and Albert Museum. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
