Source note: Ballou''s pictorial drawing-room companion. (Boston : M. M. Ballou, 1854-1859).
Content: "Our artist has in the above graphic picture presented a group of the Palace police. The force consists of a captain, lieut. commandant, four lieutenants, four sergeants, and four companies of men, who are on duty night and day in the Palace, to protect the immense amount of property exposed."..."Our artist has represented the group in the act of "spotting" a pickpocket, a scene he witnessed while engaged in sketching. Quite a number of the light-fingered gentry have been detected in their operations in and about the Palace....Particularly are the Crystal Palace police available in preventing this sort of depradation upon visitors and their instructions lead them to keep ever on the watch to detect the culprits, and bring them to justice."--from source text.
