From the Smithsonian: The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, or Great Exhibition, was held in England in 1851. Considered the first World's Fair, the exposition showcased international industrial advancements as well as artistic and cultural products. 25 countries, including the United States, participated in the event, popularly referred to as the The Crystal Palace Exhibition, after the immense (1,851 feet long, 128 feet high) glass and iron building constructed in London's Hyde Park to house over 14,000 exhibitors. Between May and October 1851, The Great Exhibition attracted about 40,000 daily visitors, for a total of six million guests. Following the conclusion of the Exhibition, the Crystal Palace was dismantled and relocated to another area of London whose environs were eventually renamed after the building. The palace was destroyed in a fire in 1936. Date Made: 1851
