New York World's Fair, 1939 - The British Pavilion, front cover designed by Eric Ravilious
What a wonderful piece of whimsy this is by the marvellous Eric Ravilious! The design, based on the UK's 'coat of arms', is of the front cover to the British exhibition pavilion at the 1939/40 New York World Fair held at Flushing Meadows/Corona Park. It was billed as looking forward to the future - it looks as if us Brits were happy to wallow in a good bit of stability and nostalgia!
