EDITORS COMMENTS
This diagram depicts the All-Red Route, an electric railway line laid down for the Festival of Empire at the Crystal Palace in London, which opened on May 12, 1911. The route was inaugurated by King George V and Queen Mary and served as a means to link together the colonial pavilions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India. The All-Red Route was a significant addition to the Festival of Empire, which aimed to showcase the British Empire's global reach and influence. The cost of constructing the All-Red Route amounted to 90,000 pounds (approximately 8.5 million pounds in today's currency), and the railway line was essential in facilitating easy access between the various pavilions for visitors. The route was named 'All-Red' due to the predominantly red color of the flags of the five colonies represented. The Festival of Empire was an exhibition that celebrated the achievements of the British Empire and its colonies. The Crystal Palace, which had previously housed the Great Exhibition of 1851, was the chosen venue for the event. The All-Red Route was a crucial part of the Festival's infrastructure, enabling visitors to explore the diverse pavilions and learn about the rich cultural and historical offerings of the British Empire's far-flung territories. The diagram illustrates the meticulously planned railway line that connected the various pavilions, providing a seamless and efficient transportation system for the thousands of visitors who attended the Festival of Empire. The All-Red Route was a testament to the British Empire's engineering prowess and its ability to bring its diverse colonies together in a grand display of unity and celebration.
