Colours of London: A History

Product Information

It brilliantly combines all my favorite things into one resource, including art, history, paraphernalia (Antique postcards! Historic Olympics posters/ads!), literature, and more. This is exactly why I loved my European Studies degree program in college--it didn't lean too heavily on any one thing, instead dabbling just enough across a variety of topics to hold my interest.

A truly invaluable book for lovers of art, history, photography or urban geography, this beautifully illustrated title tells a rich and fascinating story of the history of this great and ever-changing city.

I am grateful to NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Of course, not everything about London is sunshine and daises, fun and games. We do see the challenges and hardships represented here, just as much as the city's glories--as we should. (And oh, reading about Queen Elizabeth's coronation just weeks after her passing... #feels) Even the weather comes up; inevitable, just like one cannot talk about the Pacific Northwest without talking about rain--or mist (ask me how I know :D). And yet, I felt at home in that section--not just because it was covered under my favorite color, blue, but because the PNW and England share many a common weather; the two are not so different there.
