EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the Festival of Empire Exhibition held at Crystal Palace in South London, in the year 1911. The image showcases two thrilling attractions that epitomized the spirit of leisure and entertainment during this grand event: the Joy Wheels and the Maxim Flying Machine. The Joy Wheels, a popular ride at the exhibition, is depicted in all its glory. The merry-go-round, adorned with intricately designed horses and other figures, stands tall against the backdrop of the Crystal Palace. The joy and excitement on the faces of the riders, clinging onto the horses for dear life, is a testament to the fun and thrill that these rides provided to the visitors. In stark contrast to the serene Joy Wheels, the Maxim Flying Machine, a marvel of engineering, is shown taking flight in the background. The machine, designed by the renowned British inventor, Sir Hiram Maxim, was a sight to behold. Capable of carrying passengers to heights of up to 1,000 feet, it represented the pinnacle of aviation technology during that era. The daring passengers, strapped in and ready for takeoff, embody the sense of adventure and exploration that characterized the early days of aviation. The Festival of Empire Exhibition, held at the iconic Crystal Palace, was a celebration of the British Empire's achievements and advancements in various fields. This photograph encapsulates the essence of the event, showcasing the perfect blend of entertainment, innovation, and excitement that left a lasting impression on the visitors.
