BBC Nostalgia from 1926 and 1927

Here are some nostalgic images from late 1926 and early 1927.  This was around the time the BBC changed its name from the British Broadcasting Company Ltd. to the British Broadcasting Corporation.  In those early days the BBC was not afraid of advertising products as can be seen by the back covers of the libretti below.  The images are quite large in order to preserve quality.

 

November 1926 Letter  (110k)

This letter was sent along with the following  libretto and has the BBC heading from just prior to its name change to the Corporation
December  1926 Front Cover  (165k)

December 1926 Back Cover
  (155k)

The above two images were from the libretto of 'The Barber of Seville' produced by the British Broadcasting Company Ltd. which was broadcast on 10th December 1926.  The rear cover features an advertisement for loudspeakers from S.G. Brown of Acton, West London.
April 1927 Front Cover  (160k)
April 1927 Back Cover  (160k)

These two images were from the libretto of 'Romeo and Juliet' as produced by the newly formed British Broadcasting Corporation, and broadcast on 29th April 1927.  The  rear cover of this issue features another loudspeaker advertisement, this time from Lissen Ltd. of Richmond, Surrey.
