Joseph Pennell's 1905 etching, "The Crystal Palace," depicts the iconic Victorian-era structure in London. Pennell, known for his masterful depictions of urban landscapes, captures the palace's intricate details and grandeur, showcasing its expansive glass-covered halls and surrounding gardens. The artwork, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of architectural innovation and serves as a testament to the legacy of the Crystal Palace.
