An important collection of photographs from the Press Association's unique archive, illustrating a decade of life in Britain that saw the end of the Victorian era, the growth of the Labour and Women's Suffrage movements, the first powered flight and the disastrous 1908 London Olympics.The Press association was founded in 1868 as Britain's news-collecting and reporting service. Photographs have always been central to this work, and PA Photos' unrivalled collection of over 15 million pictures now forms a visual history of the nation. This volume features a hand-picked selection of around 300 images from this unique archive, illustrating a decade of life in Britain.The 1900s saw Victorian Britain awakened into a new century. The country's need to reassess its position on the world stage, however, was perhaps best demonstrated by unexpected problems with its guest nations at the 1908 London Olympics.These stories and any more are pictured in this book.
