EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of British history from 1937-1938 - a radio licence. The image is taken from the book "Today Through Yesterday" by C F Strong, showcasing the world of that time through the eyes of a young citizen. The licence symbolizes not just permission to own a radio but also reflects the era's emphasis on regulation and taxation.
In the early to mid-20th century, radios were an essential source of news, entertainment, and connection for people across Britain. Owning a radio meant staying informed about current events and being entertained by music or dramas broadcasted over the airwaves.
The intricate design of the licence speaks to the importance placed on this technology in society at that time. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed in terms of media consumption since then, with advancements like television, internet streaming, and smartphones now dominating our daily lives.
This print is not just a historical artifact but also a window into the past, allowing us to glimpse into what life was like during those years. It is a testament to how far we have come in terms of technology and communication methods while also highlighting the enduring significance of traditional media forms like radio.
