Notes
The Franco-British Exhibition of 1908 was held between May and October at White City, London, taking up 140 acres and welcoming some 8 million visitors. The Coventry firm of Grant and Co. made something of a specialism of exhibition and fair weaving, with postcards, bookmarks, stevengraphs and similar woven novelties produced on-site on miniature looms in the exhibition grounds.
