Great Stadium at the Franco-British Exhibition in London, 1908: A Vintage Vision of Grandeur and International Unity This photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Franco-British White City Exhibition in London, held in 1908. The image, titled "Great Stadium," showcases the grandeur and international unity that defined this significant event. The photograph captures the impressive Great Stadium, a marvel of architecture and engineering that stood proudly in Shepherd's Bush, London. The Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident in the ornate, intricately designed stands, which are bathed in the soft, golden glow of the lantern slide. The vast expanse of the stadium, with its seemingly endless rows of seats, speaks to the scale and ambition of the exhibition. The Franco-British White City Exhibition was a celebration of the friendship and cooperation between France and Britain. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of unity and camaraderie that permeated the event. The image invites us to imagine the throngs of spectators that once filled the stands, cheering on the athletes and competitors who graced the field. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of London and its role as a global hub of culture, innovation, and diplomacy. The Great Stadium stands as a testament to the enduring power of human ingenuity and the ability to come together in the spirit of unity and progress. This vintage lantern slide, with its intricate details and beautiful tonal range, offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the past. It invites us to reflect on the history of London and the Franco-British Exhibition, and to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of a bygone era.
