This watercolour shows a scene from the Indian Court at the Great Exhibition of 1851. The show was huge—over 13,000 exhibits in a giant glass building called the Crystal Palace. Goodall painted it as part of a set turned into colorful prints later. Money from the fair helped start the Victoria and Albert Museum years later. Check out Walter Goodall.
