EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage guidebook titled "Seeing Glasgow by Tram and Bus," issued in conjunction with the International Empire Exhibition held at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1938. The guidebook serves as a testament to the city's rich history and transportation system during that era. In the background, the Tait Tower looms majestically, a symbol of the exhibition that attracted millions of visitors from around the world. The tower, named after the then Lord Provost of Glasgow, Sir William Tait, was a significant landmark of the event. The image reveals a bustling cityscape with trams and buses plying their routes, providing an insight into Glasgow's efficient and well-connected public transportation system during the pre-war period. The international crest on the guidebook cover adds to its allure, reflecting the global nature of the exhibition that brought together various nations, showcasing their cultures and achievements. This photograph is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the transformative power of such events in shaping the urban landscape and fostering international camaraderie. The Tait Tower, the trams, buses, and the guidebook itself, all stand as enduring symbols of a time when Glasgow embraced the world and showcased its vibrant spirit.
