Скачать или смотреть GILES THE COLLECTION 2018

Take a gentle stroll back in time to enjoy warm memories of days gone by back in the days when the Daily Express was still a broadsheet and Giles our favourite cartoonist. He saw newsworthy events from the viewpoint of the common man, woman or grandma and today they are social history. See the British 'staycation' before cheap flights, totalitarian boarding houses and packed beaches with knotted handkerchiefs and rolled up trousers, Grandma always dressed in black. The themes are Summer, Christmas and Easter - beach holidays, weekends away, camping and holiday camps, the Giles family Father bringing people back home for Christmas drinks at totally inconvenient times, Christmas shopping, weddings with flamboyant bonnets and events of national and international importance and of course the British weather. Petrol station shortages, dock workers' strike, oil spillages, the Litter Bill under debate in Parliament, breathalysers introduced, LSD and the Isle of Wight pop festival and more. Ranges from July 1949 to March 1989, 40 years of family life and frolics with the twins and their family. Prior to that Carl Giles had been cartoonist for Lord Beaverbrook's Daily and Sunday Express and these splendid full page cartoons are from the British Cartoon Archive. One to a page, sometimes with explanatory caption. Witty, irreverent fun. 160pp, 11" x 8½".
