Preparing for the Festival of Empire and Pageant of London at the Crystal Palace: A Glimpse into the Hustle and Bustle of 1911 Construction Sites This evocative photograph captures the frenetic energy and industrious spirit of the workers as they toil to complete the structures for the grand Festival of Empire and Pageant of London at the Crystal Palace in 1911. The exhibition, which opened on May 12th of that year, was a testament to the British Empire's global reach and influence. The image reveals a multitude of workers, their faces set with determination and focus, as they labor over the intricate details of the enormous structures. Everywhere, huge edifices are rising upon steel and wooden skeletons, their forms taking shape before our very eyes. The Parliament buildings at Ottawa, reproduced on a two-thirds scale, loom in the background, a symbol of the Empire's political might. The workers, dressed in their work clothes and donning protective gear, are engaged in a variety of tasks. Some are sawing timber, while others are nailing pieces of wood together or guiding horses to pull heavy loads. The scene is one of manual labor at its most intense and productive, a testament to the ingenuity and hard work that went into creating this grand spectacle. The photograph, taken by renowned illustrator Matania, offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes action of one of the most significant events in London's history. The Festival of Empire and Pageant of London at the Crystal Palace was a celebration of the Empire's achievements, and this image encapsulates the spirit of preparation and construction that went into making it a success.
