Franco-British Expo of 1908

This post card is in my collection because the front picture has train tracks and the title says, "Canadian Scenic Railway..." It also mentions the

"Franco-British Exhibition, London, 1908". I looked up what the Exhibition was all about. This is what I found:

It's an odd exhibition for many reasons. Considered an outstanding success at the time, the exposition, confined to the nations and colonies of the British Empire and French Empire, was actually a clarion call that both of those empires were waning and were ceasing to be competitive with the rest of the world that was barred from participation. Twinned with the Olympic Games, a poor second cousin to international expositions at the time, they were managed by the British Olympic Committee, which managed them well. The Olympics were held in the Great Stadium, sixty-eight thousand seats, later renamed the White City Stadium after the fair's buildings, plastered bright white in a dazzing display. The reason for hosting a colonial exposition with only France and Great Britain involved was the 1904 Entente Cordiale peace accord. Apparently they wanted to keep that peace to themselves, but they may have wanted to clue in their colonial possessions, who were beginning to want their independence over peace.

The Franco-British exhibition had large scale leisure attractions, the first for a British exhibition. Kiralfy built an open-air theatre for three thousand and a two hour show, the Alfresco Spectacular, Our Indian Empire which mesmorized visitors on how the British had civilized India. There was also the Flip-Flap ride and fireworks three nights a week. Thirty thousand people attended the opening ceremonies with the Prince and Princess of Wales in attendance. By 6 o'clock on opening day, 123,000 people had visited.

Attendance at the amusement attractions:
Flip-Flap 1,110,800;
Mountain Scenic Railway 2,800,000; This is the exhibit on the front of this post card!!
The Spiral 653,600;
The Canadian Tobaggan 807,000;
Old London 500,000+;
The Mountain Slide 250,000;
The Johnstown Flood 715,000;
The Stereomatus 425,000.
Down the left-hand side of the back of this post card it mentions that it was published by Valentine & Sons Limited from Dundee in Scotland, London in England and New York in the USA; it does not mention that there were two offices in Canada in Montreal and Toronto at that time.
