A richly illustrated study of the interplay of word and image in
representations of the English countryside, built environment, and
domestic space during the interwar period. During the 1920s and
30s, words and pictures in print were the main way in which people
received ideas and entertainment, the two working together in a
great variety of forms. Many books of the twenties argued against
the loss of the countryside because of suburban building. But the
demand for post-war building was great and, following the lead of a
government report, many books appeared that showed house designs,
allowing readers to design or imagine their ownership. Book designs
became attractive, helped by colourful dust jackets and internal
pictures. Magazines developed individual talents and special
interests for both men and women. And, at the periods close, word
and image were combined to publicise the growing RAF and give
advice about protecting houses from bombing. In all these, words
and images worked together as a complex form of art, communication,
and entertainment.
