About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a fancy glass display case. Inside, you see lots of delicate vases, jars, and shiny objects arranged neatly on shelves. The lighting makes the glass sparkle, and the whole scene looks clean and orderly. The photo was taken in 1862 at a big exhibition, where countries showed off their best crafts. The objects inside the case were likely meant to impress visitors with their beauty and skill. If you want to see more like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
