The Pageant of Empire cover
One of the most extravagant of railway company publications was The Pageant of Empire from the LNER in the year of the Wembley exhibition in 1924. Some have personal dedications in them from the railway officer who presented the volume. The choice of poetry and artwork was absolutely stirring. I looked ay Ebay, there were less than 10 examples with prices ranging from £1,194 to £99. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Pageant-of-British-Empire-Souvenir...?
