A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The invention of photography in the first half of the 19th century gave people a completely different way of recording what was happening around them and soon professional and amateur photographers were turning their lenses onto every subject imaginable - monarchs and politicians, soldiers at war, industry and transport, farming and rural life, national celebrations, ordinary people at home and at work, entertainers and actors, fashion, sport, school and much else. Their work has given us a unique view of our nation's heritage. This volume looks at the major events, people and stories of the 1950s through photographs that reveal the essence of those times. The decade began with the scars of war visible everywhere and rationing still in place. It ended with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan claiming that people had never had it so good. This was the start of a vibrant new Elizabethan age in which Britain would begin to find its feet in a changed world order, without the privilege and responsibility of empire. Relive these times in the dramatic and moving pictures presented in this book.
