EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a scene from the Festival of Empire, held at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham between May and October of 1911. The grand event was an opportunity for the British people to celebrate and showcase their empire's achievements, culture, and industrial prowess. In the foreground of the image, a sponsored kiosk stands proudly, offering visitors a taste of Lemco and Oxo meat extracts. The kiosk's design is adorned with advertising for both brands, with Liebig meat extract prominently displayed above the door. The use of sponsored kiosks like this one was a common feature at large exhibitions and fairs, providing companies with an excellent platform to promote their products to a captive audience. The upper left-hand corner of the card features two vignettes, each showcasing a regal figure. The first vignette depicts King George V and Queen Mary, adding an air of royal approval and prestige to the event. The second vignette showcases a family enjoying the festival, further emphasizing the inclusive and celebratory nature of the occasion. The Crystal Palace, a iconic landmark in its own right, served as the perfect backdrop for this grand event. Its glass and iron structure, designed by Joseph Paxton, had first been used for the Great Exhibition of 1851 and had since become a symbol of British innovation and architectural achievement. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into a bygone era and a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the Festival of Empire and the role it played in shaping the British identity.
