A renowned chemist, photographer and scholar, Robert Hunt was a
passionate advocate of popular education and the ideal choice to
write an accessible but informative handbook to the Great
Exhibition of 1851. Published while the event was still welcoming
visitors in Hyde Park, Hunt's Hand-Book is an encyclopaedia of
Victorian material science, chemistry, engineering and design.
Aided by small sectional plans of the building and tables of
classification, in Volume 2 readers continue their vicarious
journey through the Crystal Palace, while receiving clear and lucid
lessons on the physics, mechanics and chemistry that enable such
innovations as the hydro-pneumatic elevator and the railway system.
Including exhibits as varied as enamelled glassware, woven flax,
upholstery, diamonds and cement, Hunt's work constitutes one of the
most valuable sources available on an age defined by innovation,
industry and empire.
