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

This satirical etching by George Augustus Sala, titled "The Great Exhibition 'Wot is to Be'," is a humorous take on the 1851 Great Exhibition in London. Sala's caricature depicts various figures, including a policeman, a "High Priest for foreigners," and a "strong detachment of metropolitan police," all associated with the event. This artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a unique perspective on the excitement and anticipation surrounding the Exhibition.
