EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of the "Standard of Empire". Annual for 1912 - 1913, exuding a jingoistic sentiment. The image features Britannia, symbolizing Great Britain's power and influence, seated in a majestic chariot drawn by the mighty British lion. Against a backdrop depicting scenes from various corners of the Empire including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, this artwork encapsulates the essence of colonialism during that era. The full-length portrayal captures Britannia holding a shield adorned with the Union Jack flag while brandishing a lance high above her head. Her resolute gaze reflects both strength and determination as she leads her empire towards prosperity. The landscape surrounding her is richly detailed and evokes historical significance. This photograph transports us back to early 20th-century British culture and craftsmanship. It serves as an artistic representation of history through its use of Western script on the cover page. The image highlights not only one woman but also one animal – emphasizing Britannia's dominance over both land and beast. Displayed outdoors under daylight conditions adds authenticity to this vintage piece. While it is important to note that this print does not pertain to any specific company or commercial use, it undoubtedly offers viewers an opportunity to delve into our shared past and appreciate artistry that once celebrated imperial might.
