EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Sydenham in the early 20th century, specifically around 1910. The image showcases an early view of the renowned Crystal Palace, which was originally erected in 1853 on the site where the Great Exhibition of 1851 took place. With a population of approximately 32,130 at that time, Sydenham was a thriving town within London's Bromley district. The photograph is part of a card from an intriguing game that featured views of prominent towns across England, highlighting their notable buildings and local products. These cards were beautifully printed in vibrant colors, adding to their visual appeal. Crystal Palace Park can be seen surrounding this architectural marvel. The park itself holds historical significance as it served as the setting for various events and exhibitions throughout its existence. Its vast landscape provided visitors with breathtaking scenery and leisurely activities. As we delve into this snapshot from history captured by The Print Collector (not affiliated with any commercial entity), we are transported to an era when glass architecture dominated landscapes and captivated imaginations. This particular print offers us a glimpse into both the geographical layout of Sydenham and its connection to one of England's most iconic structures - the Crystal Palace.
