Colours of London: A History

Product Information

Carefully and expertly laid out, the Colours of London FREE colour card showcases the Mylands' hero collection in tonal groups, the six different finishes available and offers tips and advice on the product and brand. The book does not intend to be a fully integrated or comprehensive story of London. The Author has covered this in his previous writings. What we are presented with in this book are somewhat related chapters, each telling a couple of London stories, with illustrations, loosely related to colour or some other aspect of visual imagery. I find the book a success, capturing all the major events and issues since the mid 19th century, showing these event in colour images, providing context & meaning and mentioning changes over the years. I think anyone who has an interest in the history of London and indeed the London of today, will enjoy this book. For those fortunate enough to live in or visit London, I think the sights, sounds and views will be more meaningful, rewarding and interesting having read this book. Colours of London was an interesting collection of photographs and art woven with history. It leads the reader on a journey through time, viewing London through different periods.

These stunning and versatile colours range from deep emerald greens to rich ruby reds, and they can truly transform any room. I came to think of these chapters, each devoted to a different hue, as a kind of stroll through history paying attention to specific qualities. The next chapter was another stroll but with different qualities under examination. This is quite an enjoyable read as well as an attractive book to simply look through. Combined, it makes for a wonderful experience.I enjoyed the pictures and how the author grouped them into different categories. Going into this I though it was just going to be a collection of the author's photography works, however he painted a interesting view of the city, its history, and its colours. I really enjoyed this book. Each chapter was a different colour and we went through various elements of London linked to that colour. For red - buses, gold - the coronation carriage. For each London characteristic mentioned there was a short history with relevant photos. 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. I am grateful to NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. 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.
