EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1908, showcases the Scenic Railway at the Franco-British Exhibition held in West London's White City. The scene is a vibrant tableau of Edwardian leisure and social interaction. In the foreground, a group of people, some holding umbrellas or parasols, are gathered, chatting and laughing as they wait for their turn on the popular ride. The Scenic Railway, a thrilling attraction that offered passengers a scenic journey through a series of hills and dips, is visible in the background, with its colorful carriages winding their way around the track. The Franco-British Exhibition, a celebration of Anglo-French friendship and cultural exchange, attracted over eight million visitors during its run from May to November 1908. This photograph captures a moment of joy and camaraderie amidst the excitement and novelty of the exhibition, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
