EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Great Building Exhibition held at Olympia in 1920. The image, captured by an unknown creator, showcases the essence of the Roaring Twenties - a time characterized by economic prosperity and a surge in consumerism. The exhibition was a testament to the changing times, where assembly line production and easy credit allowed ordinary people to indulge in purchasing new consumer goods. This era marked a shift towards modernity as people sought to decorate their homes with the latest trends and designs. The photograph focuses on an advertisement from "The Ideal Home" magazine, published in April 1920. The close-up shot reveals intricate lettering that emphasizes the allure of home decoration during this period. With its capital letters and Western script, it reflects both British pride and London's influence as a hub for innovation. Olympia Exhibition Centre in West Kensington played host to this grand event that showcased cutting-edge technology, architectural marvels, and stylish home furnishings. It served as a platform for businesses across Britain to display their products while attracting thousands of visitors seeking inspiration for their ideal homes. As we gaze upon this vintage print today, we are transported back in time – witnessing firsthand how society embraced change amidst newfound affluence. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with progress and our eternal desire for comfort within our living spaces.
