The Post Office and the Empire Exhibition, 1938

Publisher: Scottish Postal History Society, 1988

Paperback, illustrated, 60 pages, slight corner-crease, in Good condition.

For those who thought that Wembley, London, housed t̲h̲e̲ Empire Exhibition in 1924, this booklet is a suitable corrective.

Bellahouston Park, Glasgow, was the scene in 1938 of what was to be the last representative gathering of the culture and wealth of the British Empire.

This booklet introduces the Empire Exhibition, and then looks in detail at the work of the General Post Office with regard to the Exhibition. As well as a study and list of towns using the advertising slogan, there are sections on:
Postcards, Advertising labels, Air and Sea mail, and Special Exhibition Postmarks.
