1 янв 1851 г. - Great Exhibition

Описание:

- Queen Victoria opened
- although the original aim had been a celebration of art industry, in practice it appears to have been turned into more of a showcase for British manufacturing

- exhibits included almost every marvel of the Victorian age
- (including pottery, porcelain, ironwork, furniture, perfumes, pianos, firearms, fabrics, steam hammers, hydraulic presses and even the odd house or two)

(William Morris refused to go in, demonstrating his commitment to craft principles)
