EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a historic moment in international relations between France and Great Britain, as King Edward VII of England and President Fallières of France meet during the Franco-British Exhibition in London in 1908. The exhibition, held in White City, was a celebration of the long-standing friendship and cooperation between the two nations. King Edward, dressed in his regal attire and adorned with the Order of the Garter, is seen shaking hands with President Fallières, who is wearing a formal suit and a sash bearing the French colors. The setting for this diplomatic encounter is the grand Shepherd's Bush area of London, which was transformed into a bustling hub of cultural exchange for the duration of the exhibition. The photograph, taken during the Edwardian era, showcases the grandeur and opulence of the time, with the elegant attire of the two leaders reflecting the Victorian influence that still held sway over European society. The use of a lantern slide adds to the vintage feel of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era when international relations were forged through grand displays of national pride and cultural exchange. The Franco-British Exhibition in London in 1908 marked a significant moment in the history of Franco-British relations, and this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the diplomatic and cultural ties that bound the two nations together during this period. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of diplomacy and international cooperation in shaping the world we live in today.
