EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, created between 1927 and 1933 for the Empire Marketing Board, showcases a striking assembly of British explorers who left indelible marks on African history. The image features Sir James Cook, Sir Robert Clive, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Thomas Pitt, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Lord Durham, Sir Charles Sturt, Lord Brooke, Sir T.E. Lawrence, Sir Gordon G.A. Gordon, and Sir David Livingstone, all gathered around a grand table adorned with maps and globes. The explorers, dressed in their iconic attire, exude an air of adventure and determination, reflecting the spirit of discovery that characterized the British Empire during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. The poster's design is a testament to the artistic sensibilities of the time, with its bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate details. The Empire Marketing Board, an organization established in 1926 to promote trade and commerce within the British Empire, commissioned this poster as part of a larger campaign to celebrate the achievements of British explorers and their contributions to the expansion of the Empire. The poster was likely displayed in public spaces such as train stations, museums, and exhibition halls to inspire a sense of pride and patriotism among the British populace. Despite the poster's advertising origins, it remains an invaluable historical artifact that offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Its depiction of these legendary explorers, who opened up new territories, established trade routes, and expanded the boundaries of human knowledge, continues to captivate and inspire generations.
