The Glasgow International Exhibition was the second of 4 international exhibitions held in Glasgow, Scotland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibition took place during a period of half-mourning requested by Edward VII[1] but was still popular and made more than £35000 profit.[2] The exhibition was opened by the King's daughter, the Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife.[1]
