Several publisher's warehouses were hit during the Blitz, including those of Country Life, which were severely damaged in 1939.

As with his first book, The English at Home (1936), Brandt staged some pictures using a cast of friends and family. The Open Book pp126-7 (French issue); The Photobook A History, I p138.
