Recollections of the Great Exhibition, 1851 is a London picture book printed by Lloyd Brothers and Simpkin Marshall in 1851, with plates by John Absolon, Edwin Dolby, Walter Goodall and Henry Clark Pidgeon, aimed at visitors remembering the Crystal Palace show. Its tinted, sepia-toned plates show faint interiors with arches, carpets and small figures, giving a designer a soft, nostalgic palette and a sense of vast exhibition halls.
