Tropical plants in the Egyptian Room, Crystal Palace, Sydenham, London, 1854. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Crystal Palace was a prefabricated cast iron and glass building erected in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. After the exhibition closed, the structure was moved to Sydenham, where it continued to attract many visitors until it was destroyed by a fire in 1936.
