The Festival of Empire at the Crystal Palace, held from May to October 1911, was a grand celebration of the British Empire's vast reach and diversity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the one-and-a-half mile tour, showcasing various reconstructions and representations of different parts of the Empire. Starting at the Canadian Building (1), visitors were transported through an intricately detailed recreation of Canadian architecture. The Indian Building and Bazaar (2) followed, where visitors could explore the vibrant colors and textures of Indian culture. The Australian Building (3) and New Zealand Building (4) showcased the unique landscapes and architectural styles of these distant lands. As the tour continued, the South African Building (5) and Newfoundland Building (6) offered insights into the rich history and natural resources of these territories. The Grand Truck Railway Building (7) represented the industrial might of the Empire, while the Tudor Castle and Street (8) offered a glimpse into the past. The tour took visitors past various attractions such as the Amphitheatre (9), the Pageant of London (10), Floriculture Section (11), and the All-Red railway line (12) that connected it all. The Medieval Maze (13) provided a fun and challenging detour, while the Sports Ground (14) and Ground for Outdoor Spectacles (15) offered entertainment for all ages.
