Time and the City

By Clare Petherick 2022

Altered books made from ‘Country Life Picture Books of London’ 1952-1964.

A walk through a recently post war London by day and night. This project was a way of piecing different areas of the city through GF Allen’s photographs, and an insight into how London has changed over time.
