Description: | This picture postcard shows the facade of the Gold Coast pavilion at the British Empire exhibition. It is one of a series of souvenir postcards issued by Raphael Tuck & Sons to commemorate the British Empire exhibition, first held at Wembley in 1924. The reproduction is after an original painting by Charles E Flower.
The British Empire exhibition was intended to celebrate the empire. The Gold Coast exhibit was one of three pavilions representing the West African Colonies - the other two were Sierra Leone and Nigeria. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Leisure Identity and Icons Art and Design | Temporal: | 1924 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
