After 10 years of austerity, the 1950s saw rationing draw to an
end. Gathered together in this colourful creation of over 1,000
products and images, The 1950s Scrapbook conjures up the life and
times of the Coronation of Elizabeth II to the abundance of toys
and television programmes, everything memorable and evocative,
illustrating an extraordinary period of British history, from
rationing to rock 'n' roll, from Archie Andrews to the Mini Minor.
Taking the best of the Robert Opie Collection (on display at the
Museum of Advertising and Packaging, Gloucester), The 1950s
Scrapbook adds to the different lifestyles portrayed in the
companion volumes of The 1930s Scrapbook and The Wartime Scrapbook.
