  From Victorian factories to the peace marches against the Iraq war, this collection of over 700 unique images paints a telling portrait of the world from 1900 to the present day. Focusing on both the high-profile and the personal, the camera offers an amazing insight into the gradual unfolding of our modern history. Captions and accessible explanatory text support this revelation of the breadth of human experience over more than a century - war and peace, depression and recovery, art and entertainment, sport and leisure, and the bizarre everyday incidents that the camera has saved for posterity.
