100 Years of London presents a visual record of London at its best
and worst, from the armistice at the end of World War I through to
the modern day. The story is told through 300 photographs from the
Press Association's vast archives. Hand-picked by their own
archivists, many of these pictures remained archived and unseen for
years after they were first published in the newspapers and
magazines of their day. Collected here in a new edition, they
present an evocative and visual journey through the modern history
that has made London the city it is today.
This is a visual record of the British people's habits of dress
from the Victorians to Britpop. Social history is reflected in the
outfits of the time, from the wartime austerity of the 1940s to the
new couture of the 1950s. It takes us on a fascinating journey
through a hundred years of fashion and style, both on the London
catwalks and on the streets of ordinary towns. This is a
celebration of punk rock and rockers since the early 1970s. 500
images from the MirrorPix archives illustrate the world of punk
rock, capturing the atmosphere of gigs and venues, at festivals and
in the recording studio. News pictures expose the hard-living,
anarchic lifestyle of punk musicians and their transition into more
acceptable members of society; the fashions and colourful
hairstyles of punks; and, the conflicts with other cultural groups
such as Teddy boys and football hooligans.
