EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Flip flap, Franco British White City Exhibition," transports us back in time to the vibrant and intriguing 1908 White City Exhibition in London. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of this Franco-British exhibition, which took place in Shepherd's Bush. The photograph showcases a crowd of onlookers, their faces filled with wonder and curiosity, gathered around a large lantern slide projector. The projection, illuminated on a white screen, reveals an image of a flapping bird, its wings in motion, creating a mesmerizing effect. The use of the lantern slide projector, a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, adds to the nostalgic charm of the scene. The Franco-British Exhibition was held to promote cultural exchange and strengthen diplomatic relations between France and Great Britain. The event was a grand spectacle, featuring pavilions showcasing various industries, arts, and sciences from both countries. The exhibition attracted millions of visitors, making it a significant cultural event in London's history. This photograph, with its intriguing subject matter and historical context, offers a unique window into the past. It invites us to imagine the excitement and fascination that the crowd must have felt as they watched the flapping bird come to life on the screen, a testament to the power of technology and innovation during the early 20th century.
