EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Franco-British Exhibition held at White City, London in 1908, we find Pavilion no. 71, home to The Godfrey Phillips exhibit. The Franco-British Exhibition, also known as the Franco-British Exposition, was a grand celebration of Anglo-French cultural, artistic, and industrial cooperation. Held from April to November 1908, it attracted millions of visitors from around the world. At Pavilion no. 71, The Godfrey Phillips Company showcased their latest innovations in tobacco manufacturing and smoking paraphernalia. The Godfrey Phillips Company, a leading tobacco manufacturer based in Calcutta, India, had established a strong reputation for producing high-quality tobacco products. Their presence at the prestigious Franco-British Exhibition was a testament to their international standing. The photograph reveals a bustling scene within the pavilion. Visitors are seen examining tobacco products with great interest, while others engage in animated conversations with Godfrey Phillips representatives. Smoke wafts gently from various tobacco products on display, adding to the authentic atmosphere. The pavilion's design is a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western influences, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Godfrey Phillips Company. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the tobacco industry during the early 1900s and the cultural exchange that took place during the Franco-British Exhibition. The Godfrey Phillips exhibit at Pavilion no. 71 stands as a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and their significant role in the global tobacco market.
