Significance of the First World's Fair in the Victorian Era

Summary/Abstract: The era of the Contemporary World's Fair begins with the Grand Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, held at London's Hyde Park in 1851. This is made possible through the efforts of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, who is of continental origin and is well aware of the potential of the exhibitions. In the early 19th century, the Industrial Revolution began to transform Britain. The Industrial Revolution in the 19th Century began to transform Britain. The country is described as the "Workshop of the World". At the center of the London Exposition is the Crystal Palace, which is the first of its kind modular cast iron and glass construction, a source of worldwide recognition. The famous Crystal Palace, designed by Joseph Paxton, is built on an area of nearly 20,000 square meters and over 60 countries showcase the latest in industrial design. Over 100,000 items from over 14,000 exhibitors from around the world are exhibited, grouped into four main themes: Machinery, Manufacturing, Fine Arts and Raw Materials. The facts presented demonstrate the significance of the event, but in this report I will highlight various aspects to answer the question of whether the UK's presentation to international audiences and the acceptance of free trade are intended to lead to more sales of British goods abroad or is the purpose a demonstration of economics and political hegemony in response to the high efficiency of the 1844 French Industrial Exhibition?
