EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL
of MUSIC and DRAMA
21st AUG 11th SEPT. 1949
FLY THERE BY B-O-A-C
In 1947, after the devastation of World War II, the founding vision for the Edinburgh International Festival was to reunite people through great art. In that first year, people overcame the post-war darkness, division and austerity in a blooming of festival spirit. Over the past eight decades, that same vision has ignited an astonishing breadth of thrilling cultural experiences across the arts.
Mounted on linen. In almost good condition. Upper right corner is missing. Looks nice :-)
