This black-and-white photo shows an Egyptian-style sculpture displayed at the Crystal Palace in 1855. The image was taken by Negretti and Zambra, a London firm known for cameras and glassware. They snapped it just after the Crystal Palace moved from Hyde Park to Sydenham. The partners had won medals for their work at the 1851 Great Exhibition. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more photos from Negretti and Zambra.
