Sealous exhibited the painting in a building off Trafalgar Square in May 1852 and it became one of the best-known images of the Great Exhibition due to the prints made from it. Today it is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, which was built from the proceeds of the Great Exhibition, and was acquired in 1889. [4]

For the Great Exhibition of 1851 Thornycroft made an over-life-sized plaster equestrian statue of Queen Victoria which was much admired by the queen herself and by Prince Albert. [2] He had the royal family's full co-operation in its creation, the queen's horse being sent round to his studio several times during the process. [3]
In 1851, as part of the "Great Exhibition" of that year, The Art Journal featured Hall's engravings of 150 pictures from the private collections of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Although this project was popular, the publication remained unprofitable, forcing Hall to sell his share of the journal to Virtue, while staying on as editor.
