INTRODUCTION TO THE FINE ARTS COURTS. One of the most important objects of the Crystal Palace is to teach a great practical lesson in art. Specimens of the various phases through which the arts of Architecture and Sculpture have passed, are here collected, commencing from the earliest known period ...

This is still a sort of illustrated guide to the Crystal Palace building and grounds, but I thought it might be an idea to start with the background to why the Palace came to the highest point in South London. I have started a seperate thread on the actual building of the Crystal Palace, starting wi...

I'm glad you think so. They are SO grubby, and the scans not as bright as the one you posted in the "Baxter" thread. I'm not sure whether I need a better scanner, or that the scans need to be photshopped to death. These Nelson prints always seem to have been a bit short on yellow. http://i...

You either psychic or have cctv installed at my study, I have just put what Nelson prints in order before scanning, I am going through everything I have at the moment.

Not me, though presumably whoever is offering the giclee print (you don't say who) could sell you one you could re-scan. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/boringname_photos/CrystalPalace-WilliamWhiteWarren.jpg By William White Warren, I have no idea if this is still on loan to the National Gal...

Anyone got a good quality scanned print of the other Joseph Nash one showing the north transept

I'm loving how this thread has developed into "Crystal Palace in Living Colour." Is it possible to rename it? However did the image above by James Duffield Harding, leave the Duke of Devonshire's family and end up in the RIBA drawing collection I wonder, it is massive though. I saw it at t...

Edit: I better not give away any clues! Classic Falkor. Oh you are such a tease! The subject of the quiz is a "Pirate" image, there being no actual division between the two frames. The only "Big Collector" you need worry about is "1924lineone", and he bought a copy alm...
