EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures a historic moment at the opening of the Franco-British Exhibition in 1908. The image showcases an impressive lineup of Royal and Presidential carriages parked outside the grand Palace of French Arts. Taken by an English photographer, this print is now part of a private collection. The exhibition itself was a celebration of the entente cordiale agreement between France and Britain in 1904. Held at White City, named for its distinctive white-painted buildings, it became a symbol of unity between these two European nations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the pomp and ceremony surrounding this significant event. Dignitaries from both countries can be seen arriving in their elegant carriages, representing not only their respective empires but also showcasing the close ties between France and Britain. The procession exudes grandeur as it makes its way through London's West End towards White City. Amongst those captured in this image are Armand Fallières, President of France at that time, alongside King Edward VII of Great Britain. Their presence adds to the historical significance of this photograph. With its meticulous composition and attention to detail, this photo serves as a testament to both the artistry behind early 20th-century photography and the importance placed on diplomatic relations during that era.
