This photograph print showcases the cover of a special issue of The Illustrated London News from December 12, 1951. The issue commemorated the opening of the Festival of Britain exhibition, a significant historical event in post-war Britain. The cover was created by the renowned British artist Terence Cuneo (1907-1996), whose original work now hangs in the archives of The Illustrated London News. The Festival of Britain was an import ant cultural event that took place in 1951, aimed at boosting morale and showcasing the best of British design, art, and innovation following the hardships of World War II. The cover art by Cuneo perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the festival, with its vibrant colors, dynamic composition, and depiction of the iconic Festival of Britain emblem.
