Britain has been 'exhibiting' itself in fairs and such like since
Medieval times. The zenith of the 'exhibition' was in the Victorian
and Edwardian Years when grandiose pavilions were sited over
hundreds of acres of ground. Exhibiting Ourselves covers the period
from post WWI to just after WWII and includes not only celebratory
shows, such as the British Empire Exhibition and the Festival of
Britain, but more humble, earthier ones such as the British
Industries Fairs and the Daily Mail Home's Exhibitions. It also
covers exhibitions with other purposes than merely trade, such as
the propaganda exhibitions of the Ministry of Information during
WWII, and 'design' exhibitions, setting out to improve 'good taste'
of both manufacturers and consumers. It celebrates now forgotten
exhibition designers, the showmen of their day, and charters the
decline of the exhibition phenomenon as a media for change.
Contents: Exhibition venues; Celebratory exhibitions; Trade
exhibitions; Propaganda exhibitions; Design exhibitions; Exhibiting
ourselves abroad; Exhibition murals; Exhibition design era.
