A few things are unclear. Firstly, what date were these taken? And as such are they from the original exhibition, or after the 'Crystal Palace' was moved to Sydenham (I'm not sure if all the exhibits were moved, as well as the building)? And in either case, are they contemporary images or made later from a printed stereoview or negatives? The fact that these are 3.5" square would suggest that they are older than the now conventional 3.25" format.
