"The Great Exhibition 'Wot is to Be'" (1850) by George Augustus Sala is a satirical print depicting the anticipated exhibits at the Great Exhibition of 1851. The artwork uses caricature to humorously portray the various nations and industries that would be represented. The print is divided into two rows of scenes, each with a caption that further clarifies the satirical nature of the portrayal. The visual style of the work, with its exaggerated figures and humorous captions, is characteristic of social commentary and caricature prevalent during the Victorian era.
