We all carry memories of holidays from childhood onwards, brought to life by family photographs - many taken with the first generation of cheap and foolproof cameras - and scrapbook ephemera such as old postcards, brochures, tickets and luggage labels. 'Holidays from the Past' is a quintessentially British book, whose every page spills over with evocative images. Accompanied by text written by best-selling "Antiques Roadshow" expert Paul Atterbury, this delightful book is a treasure trove of holiday memories from days on the beach, picnics in the woods and camping and caravanning, to touring by car or bicycle, walks in the hills and outings in sailing boats.

Holidays from the Past

William Moorcroft, born into an established pottery family in Burslem, Staffordshire in 1872, was initially trained to be an art teacher at the South Kensington School of Art. However, in 1897 he was employed as a designer by James Macintyre &amp; Co., a large Staffordshire earthenware manufacturer interested in expanding their production of art pottery. Building on the slipware techniques already established at Macintyre's, Moorcroft was able to develop a decorative style. With its raised slip decoration in floral and Art Nouveau forms, Moorcroft's Florian Ware was quickly successful, and by 1905 was being sold by major stores in London, Paris and New York. Popularity was underlined by success at international exhibitions, with Moorcroft winning his first Gold Medal at St Louis in 1904. In 1913 Moorcroft left Macintyre's to set up his own pottery in a custom-built works nearby. New designs appeared, maintaining his reputation for colourful and delicate interpretations of natural forms and landscape. The famous powder blue tableware range, described as 'undatedly perfect' was introduced, and Moorcroft continued to enjoy international success. Throughout the 1920s and the 1930s designs were evolved to suit the changing tastes, with Moorcroft wares matching both the bright abstraction of the Jazz Age and the cooler, more austere style of Art Deco. Having survived the Second World War largely on the strength of its export business, the Moorcroft pottery was taken over by William's son Walter in 1945, following his father's sudden death. Today, W. Moorcroft PLC is still an independent business, with William's younger son John in charge, Walter having retired in 1987. The method of production developed by William in 1897 is unchanged, but the pattern range has recently been expanded by the designer Sally Tuffin. The great interest in Moorcroft pottery today was initially generated by two exhibitions of the early 1970s, one held at the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, London, and the other organised by Richard Dennis. The catalogue for the latter, the first to study the history of Moorcroft in any depth, was expanded in 1987 into the first edition of this book.

With a reputation second to none during his lifetime, Harry Murphy was Britain's leading jewellery designer of the first half of the twentieth century, and one of the most influential and accomplished silversmiths of the Art Deco and Arts &amp; Crafts periods. One of the first to be nominated Royal Designer for Industry, Murphy was a widely revered figure who seemed in his many skills to encapsulate that early twentieth century dream, the successful marriage of art and industry. Yet today, he is little known. This book, published to coincide with an exhibition of Murphy's work at Goldsmith's Hall in London, redresses the balance and brings Murphy once again to the forefront of the public's attention. Featuring a broad spectrum of Murphy s work - domestic silver and flatware, Church silver, regalia, civic and corporate silver, enamels and a fascinating range of gold and gem-set jewellery - The Jewellery and Silver of H.G. Murphy is the definitive book on the subject.

Art Deco, originally coined to describe the objects either exhibited at or influenced by the 'Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs" of 1925, is now a convenient term of reference for art and design between the World Wars. Easily recognizable and familiar as a style, Art Deco is none the less hard to define, encompassing as it does, so many decorative elements drawn from so many countries and cultures. A remarkable feature of the Art Deco period was the importance of color-printed pattern books, many of which were issued in France during the 1920s by artists as diverse as Sonia Delaunay, Edouard Benedictus and Serge Gladky. These books or folios, with their sheets of dynamic patterns of both abstract and stylized natural forms, have now become the handbooks of the period. These pattern books are vital to students of the history of design and to anyone attracted by Art Deco in its many forms. Through ART DECO PATTERNS - A DESIGN SOURCE BOOK it is possible to trace the development of Art Deco from its fine art roots into one of the most consciously decorative and evocative styles of all time. The author, Paul Atterbury, is a trained art historian in the decorative arts of the 19th and 20th centuries.
