From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Victorian Era Exhibition of 1897 held in Earls Court London, England, was created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 1837 succession of Queen Victoria. The exhibition was officially opened by HRH the Duke of Cambridge, on May 24th 1897. The Director General of the Exhibition was Imre Kiralfy. The main exhibition building, measuring approximately 400 foot in length x 60 foot width, was divided into two sections, the west wing for the Historical & Commemorative Section, which was subdivided into the Military and Naval Room linked by a corridor to the Historical Room, at either side of the corridor, the Dickens and Thackeray Room opposite the Royal Room. The east wing was solely devoted to the Fine Art Section, exhibiting works from artists such as Edward Henry Corbould.
