The work captures the essence and spectacle of the Great Exhibition of 1851, held in London. The Great Exhibition, also known as the Crystal Palace Exhibition, was the first in a series of World's Fairs showcasing culture and industry. Organized by Prince Albert and Henry Cole, it took place in the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, a massive glass and iron structure designed by Joseph Paxton.

Cruikshank's illustrations provide a satirical and detailed visual commentary on the event, reflecting the social, cultural, and technological marvels of the time. His work is known for its intricate detail, humor, and critical perspective, often highlighting the absurdities and contradictions of Victorian society. Through his keen eye for detail and sharp wit, Cruikshank captures the diverse array of exhibits and the eclectic mix of visitors, ranging from the British elite to international dignitaries and common folk.

The Great Exhibition itself was a monumental event, attracting over six million visitors and featuring over 100,000 objects from around the world. It was a celebration of industrial progress and global trade, showcasing innovations in machinery, textiles, and the arts. Cruikshank's illustrations not only document the grandeur and diversity of the exhibits but also offer a critique of the social and economic disparities of the era.

"Mayhew's Great Exhibition of 1851" stands as a significant historical document, providing insight into the public perception and cultural impact of the Great Exhibition. It remains an important work for understanding the interplay between art, society, and industry in mid-19th century Britain.
