1935 "The Story of Twenty Years" Royal Silver Jubilee Illustrated History Book
Details
A wonderful original 1935 British commemorative volume celebrating the Silver Jubilee of King George V. Bound in its original blue Art Deco cloth with gilt lettering, this beautifully illustrated book chronicles the years 1910–1935 through more than 300 photographs and illustrations documenting Britain's royal family, World War I, aviation, politics, exploration, and everyday life.
Featured throughout are iconic images including Alfred Leete's famous "Your Country Needs YOU" Lord Kitchener recruiting poster, the 1911 Investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle, royal ceremonies, and countless historic moments from one of Britain's most transformative eras.
Equally beautiful displayed closed on a shelf or opened on a coffee table, this is a wonderful addition to an English library, study, or collection of decorative antique books.
