| Philip Henry Delamotte Stuffed Animals and Ethnographic Figures 1855 Corning Museum of Glass Courtesy Collection of the Juliette K. and Leonard S. Rakow Research Library of the Corning Museum of Glass LL/33158 Plate #100, vol. II of Photographic Views of the Progress of the Crystal Palace, Sydenham (London, 1855). The colonial attitude about "white man's burden" is represented amidst models of unindustrialized, half-naked people and wild animals. The endless high-technology geometric iron columns and frames imply that the wilds are confined and under control.
