The America stand at the Great Exhibition, Crystal Palace, London, 1851.

Prominent objects on the stand included a model of the ‘Falls of Niagara’, the ‘Rider’ iron truss bridge and a vulcanised India Rubber trophy, ‘Goodyear’. The Crystal Palace was built to house the ‘Great Exhibition of the Works of the Industry of all Nations’, an idea conceived by Prince Albert (1819-1861).
