Picture History of the 20th Century 1900-1919

Product Description

Picture History of the 20th Century offers a photographic record of the 20th century. Each book touches on issues and events that made the headlines, before exploring themes such as fashion, films, music and sport. The photographs reflect the changing moods of each era and are accompanied by detailed captions. The books also include a year by year chronology and a biographical reference section. Few English-speaking people who saw the dawn of the new century doubted that it would be one of peace, progress and prosperity. Looking back, it was clear that the years leading up to 1914 continued more or less the trends of previous decades.
