This book offers critical engagements with four objects from the nineteenth century: The ruins of the Crystal Palace in Sydenham & the dinosaurs that remain the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens Oxfords Pitt Rivers Museum & the short novel by H.G. Wells
- The Time Machine. These provide very different forms of encounter but are bound by the shadow of the Great Exhibition of 1851. This immense spectacle helped forge our understanding of display surveillance & commodity. This legacy can be detected in the development of the modern museum & gallery as well as the shaping of spaces & structures of trade commerce & political display denying any possibility of conceptually separating these sites.
