Description: | The Crystal Palace was moved to Sydenham in 1853-4. This hand-coloured image, possibly by Delamotte, predates the fire in 1866. It shows the planting in the Tropical end with the Nineveh Court behind, and the colour scheme designed for the Palace by Owen Jones. This exhibit was very topical, as the ancient site of Nineveh in Iraq was first excavated in the 1840s by British archaeologists. | Subjects: | Exhibition Pavilion Exhibition Gardens And Parks Glasshouse | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Delamotte, Philip Henry | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
