EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an air mail envelope from 1934, adorned with a vibrant stamp proudly displaying the slogan "Go Great Western". The image encapsulates the essence of a bygone era when air mail was still in its infancy and held an aura of excitement and adventure. The envelope itself is a testament to the rich history of communication and transportation, as it bears witness to the influence of the Great Western Railway (GWR) during that time. While not directly associated with any commercial use, this artifact symbolizes how GWR played a crucial role in connecting people across vast distances. The striking red stamp emblazoned on the envelope captures attention immediately. Its bold typography urges recipients to embark on their own great western journeys, whether through rail or air travel. It serves as a reminder that GWR was more than just a railway company; it represented exploration, progress, and boundless possibilities. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to an era where handwritten letters were cherished treasures eagerly awaited by loved ones far away. This simple yet evocative image reminds us of our shared human desire for connection and discovery. Preserved within STEAM Museum's collection, this air mail envelope offers us a glimpse into history while igniting our imagination about what life must have been like during those pioneering days of aviation and railway travel.
