Commentary
Cette médaille aurait été offerte aux visiteurs de l’exposition.
La Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations (grande exposition universelle des travaux de l'industrie de toutes les nations) de 1851 fut la première des Expositions universelles. Elle eut lieu du 1er mai au 15 octobre 1851 à Londres. Elle marqua le sommet de la puissance britannique d'époque victorienne.
Le Crystal Palace (en français : « palais de cristal ») était un vaste palais d'exposition en fonte et verre d'abord édifié à Hyde Park pour abriter la Great Exhibition de 1851, la première des expositions universelles. Il fut par la suite démonté et reconstruit, sous une forme agrandie, au sud de Londres, dans le quartier qui porte encore son nom. Il brûla en 1936. Le Crystal Palace fut un haut lieu touristique, qui attirait une population issue de tous milieux sociaux. Sa technique de construction en éléments standardisés préfigure celle de la préfabrication en architecture.
Le nom de « Crystal Palace » lui fut donné par le magazine satirique Punch. Le Crystal Palace Football Club a été formé par des ouvriers du palais..
This medal would have been given to visitors to the exhibition. The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations of 1851 was the first of the World's Fairs. It took place from 1 May to 15 October 1851 in London. It marked the height of British power during the Victorian era. The Crystal Palace was a vast cast iron and glass exhibition hall first built in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851, the first of the World's Fairs. It was later dismantled and rebuilt, in an enlarged form, in south London, in the district that still bears its name. It burned down in 1936. The Crystal Palace was a major tourist attraction, attracting people from all walks of life. Its construction technique using standardized elements foreshadowed that of prefabrication in architecture. The name \\\"Crystal Palace\\\" was given to it by the satirical magazine Punch. Crystal Palace Football Club was formed by palace workers.

Historical background
GREAT-BRITAIN - VICTORIA
(20/06/1837-22/01/1901)
Victoria (1819-1901) was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, and granddaughter of George III. She succeeded her uncle Guillaume IV in 1837 and married her cousin Albert, Prince of Saxe-Coburg in 1840, against her mother's advice. She had nine children by him but became a widow in 1861. While respecting the rules of the parliamentary system, she tried to impose her views in the field of foreign affairs. Her favourite, Disraeli, had her given the title of Empress of India in 1876. Respected and loved, active and authoritarian, Victoria appeared in her time as the symbol of imperialist England. His reign marks the height of British power.
