Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This illustrated survey examines the art, design, fashion and architecture of 1920s London alongside wider social and political ideas about Britain, modernism, mass democracy and popular culture. It provides a framework for understanding the cultural maelstrom of the decade. London was at the heart of 1920s debates about the future of Britain. What was the London of the future to be in a world shaken by catastrophic wars, revolutions and scientific miracles? Was the British capital to be a Babylon of unrestrained capitalism, American-style; a mechanistic machine for living, Soviet-style; or a global Imperial capital? London was the place where these alternative visions jostled for space with traditional ideas about Englishness and Britishness. The book discusses these debates in terms of how they were made physical through London's streets and buildings, the clothes, material goods and creative works produced, worn and used by Londoners. It shows London emerging from the decade as a city for the modern world, British-style, newly-democratized, a unique mix of international modernism and distinctly post-modern diversity, irony and pragmatism. This text accompanies an exhibition at the Museum of London which opens in September 2003. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A fascinating record of how London and Londoners were shaped by nearly 700 years of public executions.More frequent in London than in any other city or town in Britain, these morbid spectacles often attracted tens of thousands of onlookers at locations across the capital and were a major part of Londoners' lives for centuries. From Smithfield to Kennington, Tyburn to Newgate Prison, public executions became embedded in Londons landscape and peoples lives. Even today, hints of this dark chapter in Londons history can still be seen across the city.Featuring the lives and legacies of those who died or who witnessed public executions first hand from 1196 to 1868, this book tells the rarely told and often tragic human stories behind these events. It includes a range of fascinating objects, paintings and documents, many from the Museum of Londons collections, such as the vest said to have been worn by King Charles I when he was executed, portraits of celebrity criminals, and last letters of the condemned. From the sites of execution to the thriving gallows economy, the book reveals the role that Londoners played as both spectators and participants in this most public demonstration of state power over the life and death of its citizens. A fascinating record of how London and Londoners were shaped by nearly 700 years of public executions.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Discover the extraordinary stories of the Jewish people who designed, made and sold fashion in twentieth-century London, revealing their vital role in making it an iconic fashion city. While Jewish people have long been associated with making clothes, the full extent of the contributions they made to Londons growing reputation as a global fashion capital and the democratisation of fashion through the development of ready-to-wear clothes in the twentieth century have been widely forgotten. Spanning all sectors of the fashion industry from homeworking to haute couture the book draws stories from generations of Jewish Londoners and is richly illustrated with images from across the city and the Museum of Londons collections. Fashion City takes you on a journey across London, from the busy clothing factories of the East End to the swinging boutiques of Carnaby Street and the manicured squares of Mayfair. Along the way it introduces you to the intriguing stories of the key figures behind London fashion, such as Frederick Starke, a boy from the East End whose ability to tell a creative story changed the way the world saw British ready-to-wear fashion; Otto Lucas, a gay Jewish German hat maker who became the most financially successful milliner in the world; Mr Fish, the rule-defying tailor who dressed Mick Jagger and Muhammed Ali; and Netty Spiegel, who escaped the Nazis on the Kindertransport and became a London wedding dress designer of choice under her Neymar label. Bringing together a wealth of new research and presenting a novel perspective of London fashion, this book gives a voice to the citys overlooked and often forgotten Jewish fashion makers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From talking furniture to magically transformed tableware, Walt Disneys fantastical animations can often be associated with the colourful art and architecture of French Rococo. Gothic Revival architecture can be found in Cinderella (1950); bejewelled, medieval manuscripts in Sleeping Beauty (1959); and Rococo-inspired furnishings and objects are brought to life in Beauty and the Beast (1991). This catalogue explores Disney's fascination with European art and examines how French motifs have made their way into Disney films and theme parks. Just as the furniture makers, silversmiths, and ceramicists of the eighteenth century, Disneys artists embraced their creative freedom and sought to expand the limits of design and invention. The book highlights the audacious work of artists such as Mary Blair, Hans Bacher and Peter J Hall and compares them to the animated and anthropomorphic ceramics and gilt bronzes of Sevres and Meissonnier. It explores the shared creative roots of their two seemingly disparate artistic realms and seeks to revitalise the feeling of excitement, awe, and marvel, which both Rococo craftsmen and Disney animators sought to spark amongst their audience. A fascinating look at the influences of the art and architecture of France on Walt Disney and his studios Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
