Unlikely to be challenged as the standard work on the subject, British Artists 1880-1940 includes entries for a staggering 41,000 British artists who exhibited at forty-nine of the major exhibition centres and commercial galleries throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland between the years 1880-1940. While there are many books on specific artists, schools and movements, until the publication of this book there has been no basic work of reference covering the vast mass of artists who painted during the period and whose work can be found in most British homes. The arrangement of names is alphabetical, to make it as easy as possible to find the artist; where dates of birth and/or death dates are unknown, the first and last year of exhibiting has been used. The date the artist became a member of a society has been included as well as the address. ' ...a wealth of information that has never been published before... ' - Antique Monthly

Sir Edward Lutyens became the best known British architect of the early part of the 20th century. This book embodies the quintessence of the man and his work; the variety of style and design seen in the houses featured brings together in one volume the many strands of Lutyen's fertile mind. Complementary to the work of the architect is Lawrence Weaver's leisurely 'saunter' round the houses and gardens - an effect created by the use of many detailed and cleverly composed photographs.

This dictionary brings together as many facts as possible about blue and white printed pottery at the height of its popularity and production. The authors have produced a comprehensive guide, covering every possible aspect of the subject, with Appendices which include makers' initial marks and a list of source books used by makers. The discovery that prints could be transferred to porcelain and pottery helped transform the ceramics industry. Inevitably, the market demand at the end of the nineteenth century for brightly coloured wares put an end to this extraordinary potting endeavour but the interest of collectors has never declined. This book was awarded the Library Association's 1982 McColvin Medal for an outstanding reference book. It is the first of a two volume set, having been supplemented in 1989 by a separate and entirely new companion volume containing additional entries and further information. This is a first-class reference book - Antique Collectors

Using some of the leading artists, designers and architects of the time, including McKnight Kauffer, Marion Dorn, Barbara Jones, Edward Bawden,  Ernest Race, Brian O'Rorke and Hugh Casson; he changed the interiors of the Orient Line's ships from floating ornate Highland mansions to functional and attractive transporters of people, whether for work or for leisure. Anderson went on to become a major patron of the arts on land, as well as at sea, being the first Provost of the Royal College of Art, the Chairman of the Tate Gallery Trustees, the Chairman of the Contemporary Art Society and a member of the Design Council, amongst a myriad of similar positions.

Children growing up in the 1930s and 1940s were delighted by characters such as Orlando, Babar and Little Tim, as well as enjoying the wonderfully illustrated world of Puffin Picture books. It was W.S.Cowell's of Ipswich who worked with the illustrators to produce these iconic books and who were to produce the much sort after prints of such masters as Henry Moore, Picasso, George Braque, Raoul Dufy and Eric Ravilious. Do You Want It Good or Do You Want It Tuesday? tells the story of the managers and employees of this creative company who, along with their more regular bread-and-butter work, produced outstanding colour lithographic printing that was not only unique, but also entirely magical and original bringing children's literature to life.

Although it is recorded that women working in advertising and publicity had begun to come together for mutual support soon after World War 1, little is known of their individual contributions to the industry. Despite the range of literature on the history of British advertising, women have received only cursory mention and only occasional illustration. Yet some of the earliest British advertising agencies were run by women executives, such as Ethel M.Wood of Samson Clark; additionally, some of the most important and prolific graphic artists were women, such as Dora Batty for London Transport, Dorrit Dekk for the Orient Line and Daphne Padden for the bus companies. Designing Women tells of the contribution of some of these pioneering women and their undeniable place, in advertising history.
