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.
