"Crystal Palace Sydenham 1862" is a lithograph created by the French artist Achille-Louis Martinet (1806–1877), depicting the Crystal Palace after its relocation to Sydenham Hill in London. The original Crystal Palace was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton and constructed in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. Following the exhibition, the structure was dismantled and rebuilt in a modified and enlarged form in Sydenham, where it stood from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936.

Martinet's lithograph captures the grandeur and architectural innovation of the Crystal Palace at its new location, emphasizing the vastness of the glass and iron structure. The image serves as a historical record of the palace's second phase, showcasing its role as a cultural and educational center during the Victorian era. The palace housed numerous exhibits, including technological innovations, fine arts, and natural history specimens, and it became a symbol of the progress and industrial might of the 19th century.

Achille-Louis Martinet, known for his detailed lithographs and cityscapes, created this work as part of his artistic endeavors to document significant landmarks and urban developments of his time. "Crystal Palace Sydenham 1862" not only reflects Martinet's skill as a lithographer but also provides valuable visual documentation of an iconic structure that no longer exists, offering insight into the architectural and cultural history of Victorian Britain.

The lithograph is of particular interest to historians, architects, and art enthusiasts who study the impact of the Industrial Revolution on art and society. As a piece of historical documentation, it contributes to the understanding of the Crystal Palace's legacy and its influence on later architectural designs, as well as the broader cultural milieu of the period.
