London Yesterday
by: Gerhard Charles Rump (Intro.)

Softcover. Corte Madera CA, Gingko Press, 1st, 1998, Softcover, 96 pages. This book is a collection of rare, previously unpublished, photographs from The International Historical Press Photo Collection of Stockholm that provide fascinating glimpses of everyday life in one of the world's greatest cities during the 1920s and 1930s. These remarkable, large format images open a window to the past that is absolutely stunning. London in the twenties and thirties was still a hub of a powerful empire - an exciting, lively place that brought people and goods together fromall over the world. It is shown here wearing many different faces, but one thing is clear: London has always been full of hustle and bustle. Pulsating street scenes, vibrant architectural portraits, and touching human encounters all come together to create an image of a city that was every bit as exciting then, as it is now.
