A stereoscopic daguerreotype taken by Henry Negretti and Joseph Zambra, showing an interior view of the sculpture court with large decorative urn. After housing the Great Exhibition in 1851 the Crystal Palace had been dismantled and rebuilt on a site at Sydenham, south east London, reopening in June 1854. The 'Palace of the People' as it became known, was at first a huge success as the world's first 'theme park'.
