Britain in Picturesis a series of 126 books originally published in the 1940s/1950s as an important component of Britains wartime propaganda and post-war reconstruction. Conceived and initiated by Hilda Matheson, the series employed the best writers and artists to portray Britain, her people and their achievements in almost every aspect of everyday life. Taken as a whole, the series provides a splendid survey of British creativity, prowess and endeavour from mediaeval times to the 1940s. Unsurprisingly the series was, and is, well-loved and enthusiastically collected. 1. English Popular & Traditional Art, 1956 (featured in image) 2. Sporting Pictures, 1945 3.
