Description: | Restoration work in progress in the grounds of Crystal Palace in Sydenham Hill.

The first column was raised on 5 August 1852 and the palace was opened by Queen Victoria on 10 June 1854. P H Delamotte was commissioned to document its reconstruction (1852-1854) for the Crystal Palace Art Union. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | The Photographic Institution | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Art Cartography And Topography Sculpture Leisure And The Arts Architecture Ancient World Attractions Trade And Economics Industry | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Delamotte, Philip Henry (1820 - 1889) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
