Description
The `Swinging Sixties' were a concoction of many things that brought Britain to the forefront - England winning the World Cup in 1966, mini skirts and mini cars, the Beatles and Twiggy. This was the permissive decade when the contraceptive pill became available, Lady Chatterley's Lover won a famous obscenity trial and Private Eye and Oz magazine rattled the cage of authority. Spies were much in vogue with James Bond and The Man from U.N.C.L.E., while the space race culminated with man landing on the moon in 1969. Television thrived on space stories from `Dr Who and the Daleks' to `Captain Scarlet' and `Thunderbirds', with adults being hooked on the new `soap', `Coronation Street'. Above all, the Sixties will be remembered for the birth of British pop music, Carnaby Street and fashion, a new dance called the twist and the moment in 1963 when president Kennedy was shot. The 1960s Scrapbook is the sixth in the highly successful `Scrapbook' series which have collectively sold 100s of 1,000s of copies.
Companion volumes comprise: The Victorian Scrapbook, The 1910s Scrapbook - the Decade of the Great War, The 1930s Scrapbook, From Blitz to Victory - the Wartime Scrapbook, and The 1950s Scrapbook. Invaluable as a resource of design and popular culture, the Scrapbooks provide an unrivalled visual history of the 19th and 20th centuries.
