Overview
This edition of a classic scrapbook is published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the end of the World War II.
This edition of the Wartime Scrapbook revives memories of this evocative time in Britain''s history. Life on the home front revolved around rationing, blackouts, and air raid precautions, bringing out that British spirit - humour coupled with making-do and determination.Poster propaganda kept the population digging for victory during the years of the Home Guard, Women s Land Army and austerity with dried eggs.Drawn from Robert Opie''s unrivalled collection, The Wartime Scrapbook profusely illustrates a unique period in history - the song sheets, magazine covers, comic postcards, fashion and food, games, propaganda posters and a wealth of wartime ephemera whose very survival is remarkable.
