The Great Exhibition "Wot is to Be", Probable Results of The Industry of All Nations in The Year '51, Showing What is to be Exhibited, Who is To Exhibit, in Short How Its All Going to Be Done 1850

George Augustus Sala’s satirical cartoon "The Great Exhibition 'Wot is to Be', Probable Results of The Industry of All Nations in The Year '51, Showing What is to be Exhibited, Who is To Exhibit, in Short How Its All Going to Be Done," a caricature of the Great Exhibition of 1851, mocks Irish contributions to the event. Depicted as a pig and various other comical figures, Sala's artwork reflects Victorian society's prevalent stereotyping of Irish culture and identity, highlighting the tension between national pride and prejudice that permeated the era. The artwork is a valuable primary source for understanding the social and political climate of 19th-century Britain and its colonial relationships.
