EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, King George VI, the monarch of the United Kingdom from 1936 to 1952, declares the British Empire Exhibition open at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, on April 3, 1938. Surrounded by a sea of 100,000 spectators, the King delivers his speech with confidence and poise, marking the beginning of an event that showcased the art, culture, and industrial achievements of the British Empire. Queen Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, stands among the dignitaries behind her father, her young face expressionless but attentive. The occasion was a significant one for the young princess, who would later succeed her father and reign for over 60 years. The British Empire Exhibition was held to celebrate the achievements of the British Empire and to foster international understanding and cooperation. The event was held in Glasgow to mark the city's centenary and was the largest inter-imperial exhibition ever held in the UK. The exhibition featured pavilions representing various parts of the Empire, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and South Africa. The photograph captures a moment in history when the British Empire was at the height of its power and influence. The grandeur of the occasion, the large crowd, and the presence of the King and Queen Elizabeth make this a striking image that transports us back to the 1930s and offers a glimpse into the past.
