Made in Britain presents a treasure trove of images from the Mirror archives that expansively covers the last 100 years. Made in Britain is an epic collection of photographs chronicling Britain at work – that both reminds us of our collective power and giving us hope for the future.

These images are pieces of a lost world. Ships emerge at the end of the street. The faces of tough, proud people look at us through the lens of a camera. They had their own hopes and fears. What would they say to us? This was Britain at work. We used to make stuff on an epic scale. Life was not a rose garden, but together we achieved incredible things. We built the modern world. We were always a big family, welcoming workers from around the globe. Let’s start a conversation. Let’s look back to leap forward. Epic goals are exciting. Epic goals bring people together. We used to make stuff. Could we make stuff again? Should we?

Wonderful purchase!

John Broadley is one of my favorite illustrators and also one of my absolute favorite books ever!
The special shipping to Switzerland arrived very quickly and the book was perfectly wrapped! I E-Mailed the owner for a request to ship the book to Switzerland and he answered really fast and was very friendly.
I'm very happy about my purchase and can only recommend it.

I have ordered from Books About Art several times now. Every time I’ve ordered the books have arrived promptly and in great condition. The choice on the website has been fantastic and I have enjoyed discovering some wonderful books that I haven’t seen elsewhere. This has become my first stop for great art books and the newsletter has been brilliant at recommending new titles.
