Printed Ephemera — 1910
Mountain Railway, Japan-British Exhibition, London, 1910
Colour postcard showing a view of the 'Mountain Railway' at White City. The Mountain Railway was one of the most exhilarating attractions at White City. The thrill ride carried visitors by electric train up through a series of mountains, bridges and viaducts. On reaching the highest mountain pinnacle, the train cars descended at tremendous speed, through great 'dips and divides'. The speed of the trains exceeded that of the fastest express trains anywhere in the world.
This 'giant' souvenir postcard was one in a series produced by Valentine & Sons, official postcard printers for the White City exhibitions.
