About this work

This is a set of old photos showing fancy glass displays. The images look like they’re from a big show, packed with vases, lamps, and shiny objects. The lighting is dim, making the glass glow. Each photo is split into two parts, like a puzzle. The photos were taken in 1862 at a big event in London. They show how people displayed fancy items back then. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
