Bøger i Photo Postcards from the Tom Phillips Archive serien

This series of books draws on Tom Phillips' collection of over 50,000 photographic postcards. 'Bicycles' documents the great age of the safety bicycle which was the instrument of emancipation for women and freedom for men. Also we see competitive racers and pedalling toddlers.

Assembled and designed by the artist Tom Phillips from his collection of over 50,000 photographic postcards, 'Readers' shows people reading (or pretending to read) a wide variety of material from the Bible to Film Fun, either in the photographer's studio, in their own home or holidaying on the beach.

Assembled and designed by Tom Phillips from his themed collection of over 50,000 photographic postcards, 'Women & Hats' explores the remarkable range in the world of millinery from outrageous Edwardian creations to the inventive austerities of the Second World War.

'Menswear' presents photographic postcards of men in all manner of outfits, whether formal, practical or casual, dating from around 1900 up to c. 1949. Most of the subjects are posing for portraits, displaying both their individual style and an interpretation of the fashions of the time.

Fantasy Travel shows people sitting proudly and playfully in studio mock-ups of aeroplanes, cars, speedboats and hot air balloons. Such modes of transport were beyond the dreams of the average person in the early twentieth century but the photographic studios allowed them to indulge wild flights of fancy and take away the resulting postcards.

Continuing the artist-designed 'Photo Postcards from the Tom Phillips Archive' series, 'Weddings' presents 200 images from the turn of the century that captures all the stages of the ceremony.
