British Empire Exhibition 1925 Wembley London World Tour

Original vintage poster advertising the British Empire Exhibition 1925 - A Glorious Company the Flower of Men to Serve as Model for the Mighty World - May to October Wembley London featuring a stunning artwork by Richard T. Cooper (1884-1957) featuring men in historical and modern ceremonial and military uniform through the ages from across the British Empire waving different coloured national flags in crowds with men riding horses and elephants along the top row and camels on the bottom row with a fleet of ships in full sail and a silhouette of Wembley Park Stadium in the background, the stylised lettering through the centre and below with a lion on each side of the title text box. Held at Wembley Park (opened by King George V), the British Empire Exhibition aimed "to stimulate trade, strengthen bonds that bind mother Country to her Sister States and Daughters, to bring into closer contact the one with each other, to enable all who owe allegiance to the British flag to meet on common ground and learn to know each other."
