A new slant on 1950s Britain, with a vibrant design that includes front cover pockets filled with facsimile ephemera from the period.
Basil Hyman, a keen amateur photographer, took hundreds of photographs of everyday life in Britain during the 1950s. The Lost Album is a nostalgic look back at this long-gone era, filled with photographs made during a time of enormous social change--just after World War II and before the 'Swinging Sixties'--and a wealth of ephemera: theater tickets and playbills, newspaper advertisements, ration books, and much more.
