EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant atmosphere of the British International Exhibition held around 1920. The interior of the grand building is filled with a diverse crowd of people, all drawn together by their shared interest in the exotic and the unusual. The clock on the wall ticks away the minutes, adding a sense of urgency to the scene. At the heart of the exhibition, various national flags flutter proudly, representing the many countries that have come together for this global gathering. Among them, the Union Jack stands tall and proud, a symbol of British pride and hospitality. The Japanese flag, with its distinctive red and white design, catches the eye, a testament to the strong cultural ties between Japan and Britain during this era. The exhibition showcases a range of animals, from the common to the extraordinary. Cages filled with birds, rabbits, and other small creatures line the walls, while larger animals, such as horses and cattle, are housed in spacious pens. The Welsh and American contingents are well-represented, with their respective flags and livestock on display. The American flag, with its stars and stripes, flies proudly alongside the Union Jack, a symbol of the strong relationship between the two nations. The exhibition is a testament to the spirit of international cooperation and the shared love of animals and the natural world that brought people together during the 1920s.
