The Palace of wonders in 1851, Britain launched the Great Exhibition. More than 100,000 items were displayed in a Crystal Palace erected in London's Hyde Park. Over more than five months, nearly six million visitors viewed objects that included rare china, locomotives, porcelain and silks, a folding piano, a set of Cossack armour, jewels such as the huge Koh-i-Noor diamond and a 50kg lump of Chilean gold. Pictured here are two plaster-of-Paris colossi made from casts taken at the temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt
