| Summary: | This paper suggests that although the Great Exhibition was a showcase for manufacturers, both British and foreign, and should not, for that reason, be seen as a literal representation of mid-Victorian taste, it remains an excellent tool for the researcher of Victorian material culture and its representation. A number of objects from the exhibition are used and commented to exemplify this. |
