Retrospectively, we see the time of the 1910s being invaded with
the images of the First World War, and yet in the early years of
that decade people were focussed on events at home, whether King
George V's coronation or the women involved in the suffragette
movement. Another major event was the loss of the ocean liner
Titanic in 1912. Then in 1914, the Great War devastated the
tranquil life of post-Edwardian Britain, as recruiting posters
rallied the youth of the Empire to the defence of France. "The
1910s Scrapbook" brings a new focus to this pivotal moment of the
twentieth century, a time more often seen through the media of
black and white film footage or sepia photographs. Over 1,000
colourful images tell the tale of ordinary people - their courage
and humour, their patriotism and fortitude in the face of Zeppelin
air raids, rationing and the decimation of a generation. This
Scrapbook adds to our knowledge of the recent past, and is a
companion volume to those covering the Victorian era, and the 1930s
and 1950s. It also draws parallels and comparisons with the Second
World War as seen in The Wartime Scrapbook. Above all, this book is
a testament to those involved in the conflict of the Great War.
