Thompson's view of the 1858 Exhibition of the Photographic Society of London and the Société Française de photographie at the South Kensington Museum is the earliest known photograph of a photographic exhibition. It shows a densely-packed gallery of photographs displayed in what was then called the Refreshment upper room.
