Step back in time to the year 1928, where elegance and luxury reigned supreme. Reids Palace Hotel in Madeira beckons with its captivating advertisement, promising a getaway like no other. As you stroll through the pages of history, an enchanting rainbow illustration by Arthur Ferrier catches your eye, reminding you of the beauty that can be found even amidst turbulent times. In the world of cinema, 1928 witnessed the birth of iconic partnerships. Laurel and Hardy grace the screen with their timeless humor, sharing a laugh with a police officer in their silent film 'Leave Them Laughing'. Meanwhile, MGM introduces us to their majestic lion logo that would become synonymous with cinematic greatness. Across continents and oceans, construction efforts unite communities as they witness the building of Newcastle-upon-Tyne's Tyne Bridge. A symbol of resilience and progress for generations to come. Amidst all this grandeur, Miss Richmond poses gracefully alongside her loyal deerhounds - a testament to both elegance and companionship. Coco Chanel's influence continues to shape fashion trends as her innovative designs captivate hearts around the globe. The Twelfth of July celebrations in Portadown ignite fervor among its residents as they commemorate tradition and heritage. In bustling Bermondsey stands LCC-LFB Dockhead fire station - a guardian against flames that threaten London's streets. Taking flight into new horizons is Royal Air Force Display Poster at Hendon - an invitation for adventure soaring through endless skies. And what better way to unwind than indulging in Buchanan's Whisky? Its advert promises moments filled with warmth and sophistication. Finally, we encounter Che Guevara captured mid-smoke; his image forever etched into our collective consciousness as a symbol of revolution and defiance. As we reflect upon these glimpses from 1928, we are reminded that within every moment lies stories waiting to be discovered – tales that transport us across time.
