These are early photographs of statues and sculpture displayed at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London. Nicolaas Henneman made five pictures of plaster and stone figures—including a posed dancer and a female nude—all captured in 1851. Each print shows how photography was just learning to frame three-dimensional objects under glass. Tap any photo to zoom in on the sculptor’s name carved on the base or slide to see the next statue in the hall.
