Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition 1947 - catalogue and review cover
An important event as this was the first post-WW2 Ideal Home Exhibition as the event had been suspended during the war years. It was to be the 24th exhibition. As the contents note, the UK was 'hobbling along on crutches towards normality" and the exhibition would have given hope to many a dowdy war damaged household - but at the same time given austerity and rationing much of what was on display was unlikely to have been available in shops! The stylised cover shows the Olympia exhibition centre in West London where the event took place in March 1947.
