REMEMBER WHENROBERT OPIE Book Number: 67826 Product format: HardbackJohn Betjeman said 'When you understand the past, the confusion of the present becomes clearer.' Robert Opie began his collection of tins, bottles, wrappers and packets that most people considered rubbish at the tender age of 16. There is something in this marvellous collection to inspire a smile of recognition in readers of all ages - reminders of grappling with wartime rationing, poring over Picture Post or being swept along on a wave of Beatlemania. Looking at the 20th century decade by decade, the book explores shopping, fashion, travel, entertainment, toys and games through the hoard of packaging, advertising and products themselves that Robert Opie has carefully assembled. Two World Wars, four coronations, the arrival of radio and television and the first man on the Moon, here is how they all affected not just the newspaper headlines but also the sweet wrappers and cereal packets, posters, journals and magazines and films of the day. Packed with colour photos, many to a page. 208pp, 9" x 12".
