| book description |

Photographing a Modern World: Britain 1900-1975 is a fascinating visual chronicle of Britain’s social history, featuring nearly 500 striking news photographs, each paired with insightful captions. Sourced from the Daily Mail’s historical archive, these images weave a powerful narrative of the highs and lows of 20th-century life. From shifts in work and housing to changes in leisure, the photographs reveal how everyday life evolved, while also capturing the profound impact of key historical moments, such as World War II and the Space Race. Showcasing the work of pioneering news photographers, including Frank Rust and Herbert Mason, the book is divided into themed sections, each introduced with contextual commentary exploring the social and historical forces behind the imagery. The book opens with an extensive essay by Dominic Sandbrook, renowned social historian and co-host of The Rest is History podcast.
