150 Years of Britain in Pictures by Ammonite Press

150 Years of Britain in Pictures by Ammonite Press

Chronicling ten decades glimpsed through 1000 images, hand-picked from the unique archives of the Press Association, this book is a fascinating treasure. Each decade is introduced with a description of the major trends, events and developments. 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.

PA Photos is the photographic agency of the PA Group, the UK's national press agency best known as The Press Association. Established in the 19th Century, the PA has been capturing and archiving news photography for 140 years. Many of these pictures have not been seen since the time that they were first taken: to modern eyes the archives of PA Photos yield a unique insight into Britain's recent past.
