Synopsis

Chronicling 150 years glimpsed through 1000 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. 150 years of fashion, industry, aviation, architecture, transport, weather, crime, leisure pursuits, war and technological development are encapsulated in more than 600 pages.
