The Opening Of The Crystal Palace - John Ruskin - Bog

Step back in time to the Great Exhibition of 1851 with this thought-provoking essay by art critic John Ruskin. Ruskin examines the social and artistic implications of this landmark event, which brought together the finest works from around the world in a stunning glass-and-steel structure. His insights into the role of art in society are as relevant today as they were over a century and a half ago.
