ReplyDeleteAgreed!
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that everyone went, whether they were rich or poor - everyone got to go (if they could afford a shilling) and nothing like that had ever mixed the classes of society before.
ReplyDeleteThe most awesome thing about the Crystal Palace is how it went up in flames. That's nuts.
ReplyDeleteI agree with speed water. Notice how proud the illustrator is. He must be very glad and grateful. It would be so fun to enjoy the glorious moment.
ReplyDeleteHaving the first public restrooms is interesting, too!
ReplyDeleteHello, Ms. Tatiana.
ReplyDeleteI really like the video on your blog. What I found interesting is you mentioned Hyde Park in London because our teacher lives in Hyde Park New York (U.S.A.) Please visit our blog at http://shirleys6th.edublogs.org/
