EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stunning Atlantic Restaurant at the Empire Exhibition in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow, Scotland, in 1938. The exhibition, held from May to October of that year, was a celebration of the arts, science, and industry, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The Atlantic Restaurant, designed by architects Tait and Partners, was a standout feature of the event, located atop a hill overlooking the park and the city of Glasgow. The restaurant, shaped like a ship, was a testament to the maritime heritage of Scotland and the British Empire. Its sleek, modern design, with large windows and a distinctive red and white striped tower, made it a popular destination for visitors. The flags of various countries, fluttering in the breeze, added to the international atmosphere of the exhibition. The hilltop location of the Atlantic Restaurant offered breathtaking views of the surrounding park and the city, making it an ideal spot for guests to enjoy a meal while taking in the sights and sounds of the exhibition. The restaurant's menu featured a range of Scottish and international dishes, reflecting the diverse cultural influences of the Empire. This photograph, taken in June 1938, captures the Atlantic Restaurant in all its glory, a symbol of Scotland's connection to the wider world and the spirit of innovation and progress that defined the 1930s. The image invites us to imagine the excitement and wonder felt by visitors to the Empire Exhibition, as they explored the wonders of the modern world and savored the flavors of the Atlantic Restaurant.
