Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Growing up in Britain eighty years ago might seem pleasant and peaceful in retrospect, with endless hot summer days, streets free of dangerous trafffic, and lots of open fields to play in, but the reality was not always as appealing. many families lived in poverty, and children often lived in very deprived conditions, without most of the amenities we now consider essential. This book features over 120 superb photographic postcards, loaned by eminent collectors, to portray children and their environment in the reign of Edward VII. Included are street scenes, transport, school groups, processions, shopfronts, disasters, and local characters, from all over Britain. It is probably the finest collection of such cards ever to appear in a single volume. Illustrated throughout.
