This illustrated postcard provides the colourful images the Ceylon Pavilion (right hand side) and the Hong Kong Pavilion. The Ceylon Pavilion was modelled on the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, which occupies the majority of the pictorial space. The garden where the visitors stand is the Horticultural Section. Ernest Coffin was an active poster and illustrator artist in the 1920s and 1930s.
