The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, held in 1851, was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park, London, from May 1 to October 15, 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fair exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century, and it was a platform to showcase the advancements of the Industrial Revolution. The event was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, and it was housed in the Crystal Palace, an enormous structure made of cast iron and plate glass, designed by Joseph Paxton.

Owen Jones, a versatile British architect and designer, played a significant role in the Great Exhibition of 1851. He was responsible for the decoration of the interior of the Crystal Palace, and his work had a lasting influence on design and color theory. Jones's contributions to the exhibition included the design of the elaborate frescoes and the use of vibrant colors that adorned the exhibition space. His work was guided by principles he later formulated in his seminal book, "The Grammar of Ornament" (1856), which became a pivotal resource for designers in the Victorian era and beyond.

The Great Exhibition was a monumental event, attracting over six million visitors during its run. It displayed more than 100,000 objects, showcasing the latest innovations in technology and design from countries around the world. The exhibits ranged from raw materials and machinery to fine arts and furnishings, illustrating the diversity of human ingenuity. The event was not only a celebration of industrial progress but also a means to foster international trade and cooperation.

Owen Jones's involvement in the Great Exhibition of 1851 highlighted his commitment to design excellence and his influence on the aesthetic of the period. His work at the exhibition helped to popularize the use of bold colors and geometric patterns, which became hallmarks of the Victorian decorative arts. The legacy of the Great Exhibition, and Jones's role in it, continued to shape design principles and international exhibitions for decades to follow.
