In the summer of 1851 the British public was treated to an amazing spectacle, the Great Exhibition of 1851. Primarily a colossal technology show, the exhibition, held in the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, in London, featured exhibits from around the world.
Prominent in the Crystal Palace was an exhibit hall of items from India, including a stuffed elephant. This lithograph shows the interior of an Indian tent which was shown at the Great Exhibition.
