EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant invitation to the opening of the Glasgow International Exhibition in 1901, captured in this vintage print, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of the event. The invitation, adorned with intricate gold lettering, extends a warm welcome to the esteemed guests to attend the opening ceremony on May 2, 1901. The Edinburgh-based Mary Evans Picture Library, from which this print is sourced, transports us back in time to the Edwardian era, an age of opulence and refinement. The invitation's text, with its formal language and regal overtones, reflects the importance and prestige of the occasion. The Glasgow International Exhibition was a significant cultural and industrial event, showcasing the latest advancements in trade, industry, and technology from Scotland and beyond. The event was graced by the presence of royalty, with Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife, and her husband, the Duke of Fife, Duke of Albany, representing the British monarchy. The image of the invitation also offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels of the time, with the depiction of the pavilions and buildings that housed the exhibition. The grandeur of the structures, with their intricate designs and ornate details, further underscores the grandeur and significance of the event. This invitation serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Glasgow and Scotland, and the important role that international exhibitions played in shaping the world we live in today. The print, with its intricate gold lettering and regal overtones, is a beautiful and intriguing piece of historical ephemera that offers a glimpse into the past.
