It was intended to herald a great Imperial revival - in fact, it was to prove an escapist delight frompost-war gloom and retrenchment.Inantique/design terms it was re...markable for the mass outbreak of merchandisingand for the use of a main brand - the fantastic Art Deco lion designed by F.C.Herrick.
