Abstract: Abstract In 1851, the Crystal Palace ExhibitionCrystal Palace Exhibition opened in LondonLondon. This was the first exhibit that showcased various inventions and innovations without offering anything for sale. Instead the Exhibition was designed to celebrate industrial technology in and of itself, and all the modern material achievements it had wrought. By 1870, the Second Industrial Revolution had begun and this material progress and invention would vastly accelerate throughout Europe and its Offshoots. But the social and psychological costs were perhaps just as great and in some ways celebrations of technical and economic advance were meant to cover over these developments. This chapter reviews both elements as they appeared in “1870”.
