The Building in Hyde Park, for the Great Exhibition of 1851 - Glazing the Roof, 1850. '...three bays, each eight feet wide, and co-extensive with one 24-feet trussed girder, are clearly shewn. Seven workmen are ; a labourer ascending a ladder, with a supply of putty;...another man is carrying up part of a plank;...a third is descending for materials; the other men are fitting and puttying in the glass. In the three bays shewn, there are three ridge-pieces and four gutters, which latter also answer the purpose of plates, on to which the lower ends of the sash-bars are notched and nailed
