Great photos. An iconic event and a collectors dream. The prelude to the second Elizabethan age. A must have for the mid century enthusiast.

A fascinating book about the designs used by and around the 1951 Festival of Britain.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Good overview of the Festival, with plenty of illustrations of graphic designs, less information on product designs.
Verified purchase: Yes
It is an exciting new book with loads of useful information. I bought it mainly for the information on the fabrics designed for the exhibition. I do like the newness of the item. It is NOT old, dusty and torn apart which would have put me off buying it. I do like the cover and the sections regarding design in it. I still have to look up the V and A museum textile section to get more precise visual samples of the fabric created at the time and the colours used. It is a useful, practical resource book . There are expensive , large hardbacked books at booksellers costing an absolute fortune to buy in relation to the exhibition around. Not all of us can afford such luxuries. It is a handy book and am quite happy with my purchase. For the textile degree student out there, I would suggest a purchase of this item as a back-up referance for any studies.Read full review
