IMPERIAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION Great White City, Shepherds Bush, London OFFICIAL DAILY PROGRAMME August 2nd 1909 The programme has minor wear to edges and corners. The single staple has completely rusted away leaving only a hole and some associated staining, so although all pages are present they are loose leaf. The cover spine is largely split and it would take little effort for the front and back covers to seperate.Packed with period adverts including a striking colour advert for L & C Hardtmuth's Koh-I-Noor Pencils on the back cover.The Imperial International Exhibition was a world's fair held in White City, London in 1909. It was opened in May 20 by the Duke of Argyll and closed in October.This was the second of five exhibitions to be held at London's White City (following the Franco-British Exhibition and preceding the Japan–British Exhibition) and retained many of the 1908 exhibitions but on larger grounds and with additional amusements including an alpine railway.This gave the opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the three members of the recently agreed Triple Entente. As part of this France displayed a Dahomey (now Benin) village; and Russia a Kalmuk camp.Austria, China, Denmark, Italy, The Netherlands and Persia also participated.
