EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and patriotic print captures a momentous parade during the Second World War, showcasing the unity and strength of British and Empire military personnel and civilians. The image depicts a grand procession before Britannia, an allegorical figure representing Britain's power and sovereignty. Set against the backdrop of the iconic white cliffs of Dover, this scene exudes a sense of national pride. The participants march in perfect formation, their uniforms symbolizing their dedication to serving their country. Soldiers from various branches - army, navy, and RAF - stand shoulder to shoulder with sailors and airmen proudly displaying their respective insignias. The presence of civilians in this parade highlights the collective effort made by all members of society towards victory. Their inclusion emphasizes that everyone played a crucial role in supporting the war effort on both the home front and abroad. As Britannia stands tall with her shield held high, flanked by majestic lions, she represents not only protection but also triumph over adversity. The Union Jack flags waving proudly in the background further reinforce this message of victory. This lithograph was originally featured as an illustration in "Salute to Victory" a promotional booklet for State Express cigarettes released in London around 1945. It serves as a powerful reminder of Britain's resilience during one of its most challenging times while honoring those who fought bravely for freedom and peace.
