EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting night time view of the Canada Pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley Park, Greater London. Taken in the 1920s by Katherine MacFee, this image showcases a stunning display of architectural brilliance and illuminating lights against the backdrop of a serene lake. The British Empire Exhibition, which opened on St Georges Day in 1924, aimed to foster trade relationships and strengthen bonds between countries within the vast British Empire. The Canada Pavilion stood as a proud representation of Canadian culture and achievements during this grand event. In this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the magnificence of this exhibition hall. The pavilion's intricate design is highlighted by its vibrant lighting that casts an ethereal glow over its surroundings. The reflection on the calm waters adds an extra layer of beauty to this nocturnal scene. Katherine MacFee's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural splendor but also evokes a sense of wonderment about what it must have been like to experience such an extraordinary event firsthand. This remarkable print serves as both a historical document and a visual delight for those who admire artistry and heritage alike. It reminds us of our shared history within the British Empire while celebrating Canada's unique contribution to that legacy.
