"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" is a satirical print by George Augustus Sala created in 1850. This detailed caricature depicts various stereotypes of different European countries. The print was likely created as a commentary on the Great Exhibition of 1851, a celebration of industrial achievements held in London. The exaggerated figures and humorous labels offer a glimpse into the social and cultural perceptions of the time. The print is a visual representation of the global connections and national identities present in the 19th century. The artwork is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
