Sources of photographs, acknowledgements, notes, further reading, chronology of events and index. As would be expected, the text is illustrated with copious black-and-white photography from Britain in the 1880s. Photographic paperback binding with orange and white coloured titles to the front panel and orange and yellow coloured titles to the back strip. In the 1880s the camera development had become such that it was more mobile, relatively fast and flexible, and, could be used outside stiff studio setting. In this book the decade of the 1880s has been photographed by various photographers in Britain dealing with all aspects of life: Â including working life, childhood, education, recreations, pomp and ceremony and illness, old age and death were documented. A little creasing of the book corners with rubbing of the book edges, panels and either side of the back strip. Light age toning of the text block edges and pages. First softcover edition. Size: Folio (over 12" tall ). [9], 10 - 335 pages,. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Illustrator: Photographic. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.
