EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the Franco-British Exhibition of 1908, held at White City in London. The image showcases the popular Flip-Flap ride, a fascinating attraction that added excitement to the fairground scene. The Franco-British Exhibition was a grand cultural and industrial showcase, aiming to strengthen the diplomatic ties between France and Britain. The event was a significant milestone in the history of international exhibitions, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. Amidst the grandeur of pavilions and exhibits, the Flip-Flap ride stood out as a crowd-puller. This thrilling ride, depicted in the photograph, was a unique creation that offered visitors an experience unlike any other. The Flip-Flap consisted of two large wooden platforms, connected by a central pivot. As the ride operator controlled the mechanism, the platforms would flip back and forth, sending passengers soaring into the air and leaving them laughing and exhilarated. The Flip-Flap ride is an intriguing reminder of the early days of amusement parks and fairground rides. Its simple yet effective design captivated the imaginations of visitors, making it a beloved attraction during the Franco-British Exhibition. Today, this photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of fairs and rides, offering a glimpse into the past and the joy that these attractions continue to bring to people. The Franco-British Exhibition and the Flip-Flap ride are just a few of the many historical treasures that Mary Evans Picture Library has in its extensive collection. This photograph, along with countless others, offers a unique perspective on history, allowing us to explore the past and appreciate the evolution of various aspects of our culture.
