Description	The House that Paxton Built by George Augustus Henry Sala. Ironbrace, Woodenhead & Co: Glasshouse St. 1851. A series of caricatures of people, events and objects connected with the Great Exhibition of 1851, folded to form a concertina booklet, bound in canvas boards, with sticker for R. Ackermann inside back cover. Etched, coloured by hand. [Sala produced panaramas to question and satirise national prejudices in the run up to the Great Exhibition. His early work was published by Charles Dickens in Household Words and Dickens later sent him to Russia as a special correspondent. He went on to become a journalist (most notably on the Daily Telegraph) and a writer and publisher.]
