Synopsis

After 10 years of austerity, the 1950s saw rationing draw to an end. Using Robert Opie's unrivalled collection of emphemera and packaging, this large format scrapbook is packed with over a thousand evocative images which conjure up the life and times of the Coronation of Elizabeth II to the abundance of toys and television programmes, everything memorable and evocative, illustrating an extraordinary period of British history, from rationing to rock 'n' roll, from Archie Andrews to the Mini Minor.
