Description
"The concession London to the South Pole was unprofitable. While many admired the panoramic spectacle depicting the ill-fated expedition of Robert Falcon Scott, whose party died after becoming the second expedition to reach the pole, it closed after some months and other concessions moved into its space. The official history of the Fair by Frank Morton Todd said that London to the South Pole 'suffered a sea change into something rare and strange; leaving an overhead scene wherein the devoted companions of Captain Scott toiled with their sledge back to their ship, which was wedged among the terrible canvas icebergs above the Model's Dream, the Shadow of the Cross, Alice, that Strange Girl and the Toyland Midgets with their Lilliputian Theater—for of such are the conglomerate nature and kaleidoscopic mutations of a joy street.''' - Description courtesy Laura Ackley
