150 years of Britain in pictures - Ammonite Press

Chronicling ten decades glimpsed through almost 900 images, hand-picked from the unique archives of the Press Association, this book is a fascinating treasure. Celebrities and politicians, artists and musicians, sportsmen and women, royalty, adventurers and pioneers, criminals, and ordinary people, are captured in their true context, in events that were originally photographed for the newspapers and magazines of the day, many of which have lain unseen since then. One hundred years of fashion, industry, aviation, architecture, transport, weather, crime, leisure pursuits, war and technological development are encapsulated in more than 600 pages.
