A berserk elephant gunned down in the heart
of London, a machine for composing Latin
hexameters, and the original rock band
(1841)—
these are but three of the sights that
London curiosity-seekers from every walk of
life paid to see from the Elizabethan era to the
mid-Victorian period. Examining hundreds
of the wonderfully varied exhibitions that
culminated in the Crystal Palace of
1851,
this
generously illustrated book sheds light on a
vast and colorful expanse of English social
history that has thus far remained wholly
unsurveyed.
Drawing on a wealth of never-before-used
information, Mr. Altick traces London exhi¬
bitions as they evolved from the display of
relics in pre-Reformation churches, through
the collections of eighteenth-century virtuosi,
to the first science museums and public art
galleries. He also narrates for the first time the
history of the panorama and diorama as an in¬
fluential genre of nineteenth-century popular
art. At every point, the London shows are
linked to the prevailing intellectual atmo¬
sphere and to trends in public taste.
The material is fresh and fascinating; the
range
—
from freaks to popular science, from
the funeral effigies at Westminster Abbey to
Madame Tussaud s waxworks
—
impressive.
Like the exhibitions that best served the Vic¬
torian ideal of mass culture, The Shows of
London is both entertaining and informative.
