Interior of the Great Exhibition: Crossing of the Nave and Transept
This is one of a series that Baxter devoted to London's Crystal Palace, the prints published both in London and New York. This is a later issue since two ladies shown in early versions on the balcony above the "India" sign at left have been removed.
