DESCRIPTION

Vintage People of Photo Postcards
Assembled and designed by Tom Phillips from his themed collection of over 50,000 photographic postcards, 'Women & Hats' explores the remarkable range in the world of millinery from outrageous Edwardian creations to the inventive austerities of the Second World War.
To celebrate the acquisition of the Tom Phillips archive, the Bodleian Library has asked the artist to assemble and design a series of books drawing on his themed collection of over 50,000 photographic postcards. These encompass the first half of the twentieth century, a period in which, thanks to the ever cheaper medium of photography, ‘ordinary’ people could afford to own their portraits.

Women in Hats explores the remarkable range in the world of millinery from outrageous Edwardian creations to the inventive austerities of the Second World War.

This book contains 200 images chosen with the eye of a leading artist from a visually rich vein of social history. Their covers will also feature a thematically linked painting, especially created for each title, from Tom Phillips’ signature work, A Humument.
