Festival of Empire at Crystal Palace 1911

[Joy Dean]

I have read a lot online about the Festival of Empire at Crystal Palace in 1911 and seen lots of photos of it. However, I have not found any information about the attached. Even if I never find any other pictures of them, they are still nice to have; they belonged to a great-aunt.

MODS, please move this if it is in the wrong place.

I have never seen one either (though I did used to live close by Crystal Palace) as you say, a nice thing to have from your GA.
