A propos de cet article

A very good copy of Elizabeth Phillips' articles (which appeared serially in the Western Mail newspaper in South Wales in 1924-25) published in this book form later that year by the Western Mail. The attached images show the contents, thirty two chapters describing the development of the South Wales coalfield as a crucible of the Industrial Revolution, and the people who made it happen. And I love the juxta-positioning of what the author says (in 1925) in her opening lines of Chapter One, " We live in an age impatient to annihilate distance and to build an instantaneous bridge from Here to There." (see illustration).juxta-positioning with the society and world we live in 100 years later. "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose". This book is in very good condition, illustrated throughout, with images of the people, the places and some of the procedures and processes of the day. Having grown up in this neck of the woods in the fifties and sixties this has been one of my favourite reads. Please contact me if you need any further information.…

Description de la boutique

Morgan the Maps is the online business of a retired, now-elderly bibliophile gradually dispersing all of the various books and maps that have built up over a lifetime of different interests. Not a collection as such, more an accumulation of items, most of which I am recently rediscovering in a garage full of boxes of books. Interests over the years have been in the development of road, canal and rail transport in the UK over the last 300 years, and the industrial revolution. These topics as they have affected South Wales has been a particular focus. My relocation to the Adelaide Hills in South Australia for the last 50 years did not diminish those early interests. All items are located in the Adelaide Hills.…
