Description
This unique book presents 100 years of British life recorded through 100 photographs, chosen by then contemporary figureheads from the worlds of music, science, politics, business, high fashion and the arts. The images are accompanied by the contributors' explanations of their choices, setting forth why, for them, their selections signify important aspects of twentieth-century Britain. Their choices range from the emancipation of women to the struggle for racial equality, from revolutions in dustry and communications to the establishment of the welfare state. *Faces of the Century* represents ten very personal responses to the extraordinary diversity of events and individuals that have shaped and in some cases transformed the Britain of 1900 into the Britain of today.
