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 exhilarating Flip-Flap, a popular fairground attraction that drew crowds of all ages during the event. The Franco-British Exhibition was a celebration of Anglo-French cooperation and friendship, marking the centenary of the Treaty of Tordesillas. The exhibition showcased various aspects of French and British culture, science, and industry, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. Amidst the grand pavilions and exhibits, the Flip-Flap stood out as a symbol of fun and excitement. This ride, with its distinctive design and intriguing name, offered visitors a thrilling experience. The Flip-Flap consisted of a series of large, circular platforms that would rotate, flipping riders upside down as they held on for dear life. In this photograph, we see the Flip-Flap in full swing, with riders suspended in mid-air, their faces filled with a mix of delight and apprehension. The crowd below watches with bated breath, anticipating the next round of flips. The atmosphere is electric, with the sound of laughter and screams mingling with the scent of popcorn and cotton candy. This photograph is a testament to the power of the fairground experience, providing a moment of escape and joy in the midst of the grandeur and seriousness of the exhibition. The Flip-Flap may have been just one attraction among many, but it left an indelible mark on the memories of those who dared to ride it.
