Printed Ephemera — 1951
Festival of Britain 1951
Poster promoting the Festival of Britain, from 3 May to 30 September 1951. The poster shows the Festival symbol, which was designed by Abram Games. This incorporates the head of Britannia in profile and the four points of the compass. The symbol is shown over a map of Britain, indicating that, unlike the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Festival was to be a national rather than an international event.
