From his role as project manager to the Great Exhibition of 1851 to his final years advising the South Kensington Museum on its collections, he played a key part in mid-Victorian developments in architecture, design and museum display. He worked with leading figures of his time, including I. K. Brunel, George Gilbert Scott, Herbert Minton and Henry Cole. Owen Jones was his lifelong friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first full-length study of Wyatt's work. It includes detailed discussion of his work at the Crystal Palace (in Hyde Park and at Sydenham), at Paddington Station, and in the design of the India Office in Whitehall, now part of the Foreign Office. It also assesses his writings and book designs. All these achievements are set in the context of the shifting energies and debates of his age, to which he made a distinctive and enduring contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Thorne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836244541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836244547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Historic England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 6.73w x 0.48d","brand":"Robert Thorne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001783533823,"sku":"9781836244547","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b99af961-c469-40b5-b975-e52d3ba3eacf.jpg?v=1751602129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matthew-digby-wyatt-robert-thorne-9781836244547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
