PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED with hundreds of black-and-white and color photographs with accompanying descriptive captions. "In the century and a half since Francis Frith took his first photographs the face of Britain has change dramatically. Hamlets have become villages, villages towns, towns cities. The canals have silted up, the railways have had their reign, now the car and the lorry rule supreme. Monumental buildings have been destroyed, new ones have arisen; woods have vanished; roads scar the landscape; hedges have been rooted up.Three generations of Friths and now a photographic postscript by John Cleare record this process in stunning detail and fidelity. In his informed and incisive text, Philip Ziegler explains how these changes happened and what they meant to the men and women who lived in those houses, tilled those fields, admired those shop windows, ventured out on those new-fangled bicycles. Together pictures and text provide a chronicle of Britain since 1860 which is incomparable in scope and richness. 432 pages. *NOTE: Due to excessive size and weight of the book quite significant additonal shipping cost will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment.
