Great Exhibition

The Great Exhibition was an international exhibition which took place in Hyde Park, London, England, from 1 May to 15 October 1851. Organized by Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, it was the first in a series of World's Fairs.^[1]

At some point, Pierrette Arnaud, an acrobat of the Aurora Equestrian Troupe performing near the Great Exhibition in the Crystal Palace, rescued the mathematician Ada Lovelace from a gang of thugs. Afterwards, she guided the countess away from her attackers, through the exhibition, and accompanied her home.^[2]
