Hardcover. Zustand: Used - Very Good. Floral prints, motifs and designs are always in fashion, and never more so than when used as the fabric for an English summer dress. From the naturalistic to the painterly, from the graphic to the abstract, every summer almost every woman in Britain in the last 100 years has worn or wanted to wear a floral frock. Floral Frocks explores this unassuming cultural phenomenon from the beginning of the 20th century to the present in a series of broadly themed chronological chapters, each setting floral printed dresses as part of a wider socio-cultural context. Taken together the book will give a general design history, but also raises issues surrounding the zeitgeist of each era through the medium of looking at one specific garment (the dress) rendered in one specific way (floral print). The book discusses in detail over fifty floral printed dresses with over 140 illustrations which will show sumptuous details and full-length shots of the floral frocks with examples of historic and contemporary flor Beautifully illustrated, this text by Jo Turney shows the variety of styles and prints inherent in floral printed dresses worn throughout the 20th century. The author discusses in detail more than 50 dresses from the 1930s to 1970s with examples from both museum and private collections.Antique Collectors Club Ltd.

In this account, with refreshing modesty, he tells of his life as illustrator, wartime camoufleur, typographer, author, sailor and boat restorer. The war brought him into contact with such like-minded friends as Victor Stiebel, Oliver Messel, Gabriel White, Edward Ardizzone, Basil Spence and Lynton Lamb. Later, he met Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears and designed not only programme books for the Aldeburgh Festival from its beginnings in 1948, but scenery and costumes for Let's Make an Opera.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Another instalment of the highly acclaimed Design series, this time looking at contemporary designer David Gentleman (b.1930). David's early training engraving designs on small boxwood blocks ensured that his unique style retains the characteristic intensity of the miniaturist even when it is enlarged. He attended the Royal College of Art in Kensington from the autumn of 1950, and was tutored by some of the finest artists of the time, including Edward Bawden and John Nash. Lithography became his medium of choice and he has since worked on projects as diverse as designs for postage stamps and wine labels to the hundred-metre long panels at Charing Cross Station.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Winter brings a sombre note to the garden. After it, we look to spring to lighten up the vista. The plant, beyond all plants, that does this best is the montana clematis. Huge sweeps of colour, involving thousands of small flowers, climb into trees, cover walls and embellish shrubs. No one montana clematis flowers for long, but a sequence of montanas can flower from April to September. Colour catches the eye first, but as you approach, many of the montanas give an overwhelming fragrance. This particular group of clematis is vigorous, easy to plant and easy to grow. Montanas are free from stem rot (clematis wilt), and pruning is easy. As a bonus, in the autumn, some montanas produce attractive seed heads. The longevity of this clematis is such that it can be considered a friend for life. Written by acknowledged clematis expert John Howells, this book is a book for gardeners.
