EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the mesmerizing spiral railway at the Franco-British Exhibition of 1908. The exhibition, held in what would later be known as White City due to its pristine white buildings, commemorated the entente cordiale of 1904 between France and Britain. The image showcases an aerial view of this remarkable engineering marvel that symbolized the unity between these two nations. The spiral railway, a testament to human ingenuity and progress, stands tall against the backdrop of London's skyline. Its intricate design is reminiscent of a bird's eye view, offering spectators a unique perspective on this magnificent spectacle. As visitors gaze upon this extraordinary feat, they are transported back in time to an era where colonialism reigned supreme. The illustration evokes a sense of wonder and excitement as one imagines themselves riding along this grand structure. It serves as a reminder of the power and influence that both French and British empires held during this period. Preserved within private collections today, this historic print by Flere H. H. , published in Illustrated London News magazine, immortalizes not only the Franco-British Exhibition but also an important chapter in history when two great nations came together to celebrate their alliance.
