1938 Come Committee Pamphlet Route

EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration graces the cover of the Workers Empire Exhibition Committee's 1938 pamphlet, inviting viewers to "Come and See the Empire" via the "all red route." The image transports us back in time to an era of grand voyages and imperial pride. At the heart of the illustration lies a majestic cruise liner, its sleek silhouette framed against the radiant red sun setting over the tranquil waters. The ship's impressive size and stature symbolize the reach and might of the British Empire. Workers, dressed in their best attire, are shown boarding the vessel, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Surrounding the ship are various symbols of the empire, including a lion and an elephant, emphasizing the far-reaching influence and diversity of the British Empire. The red route, represented by the winding ribbon of water leading to the ship, signifies the connection and unity of the empire's various territories. The Workers Empire Exhibition, also known as the "Empire Exhibition of 1938," was held in London's Wembley Park to celebrate and showcase the achievements of the British Empire. This illustration, with its powerful imagery and evocative use of color, effectively encapsulates the spirit of the event and the pride and unity of the empire's people. This image, a testament to the rich history of the British Empire, serves as a reminder of a bygone era and the enduring power of human connection and unity.
