Congress Hall at the Franco-British Exhibition in White City, London, 1908: A Vintage Lantern Slide Image This vintage lantern slide image transports us back in time to the grandeur of the Franco-British Exhibition held at White City, London, in 1908. The focus of this photograph is the impressive Congress Hall, a magnificent architectural marvel of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Franco-British Exhibition, also known as the Franco-British Exhibition of Arts and Industries, was a joint venture between France and Britain, aimed at promoting cultural and commercial ties between the two nations. The event took place from May to November 1908, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. Congress Hall, the central pavilion of the exhibition, was designed by the renowned architects, Sir Aston Webb and Sir Edwin Lutyens. The building's striking design featured a cascade of arches, reminiscent of a Roman basilica, and was adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. The lantern slide image captures the essence of the exhibition's grandeur, with Congress Hall bathed in sunlight, casting long shadows on the lush green grounds. The image also showcases the vintage charm of the era, with visitors in their Edwardian attire milling about, adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. This beautiful lantern slide image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual record of a bygone era and a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to inspire us today.
