Book Description:
One of the eminent figures of the Victorian era, Henry Cole (1808 1882) was a visionary whose pioneering ideas helped create the magnificent London museum that is now called the Victoria and Albert. With Prince Albert (consort of Queen Victoria), Old King Cole also helped to make London s Great Exhibition of 1851 a rousing triumph. Yet Cole s important contributions to cultural history have largely been forgotten. The Great Exhibitor is the first full length biography of this museum pioneer who also played a pivotal role in establishing the English postal system, in expanding the railway, and in art and science education. This detailed portrait captures the personality of a man who in his own time aroused both admiration and antipathy, and restores to his proper place in history a larger than life Victorian phenomenon.
