Second printing. 48pp with 8 colour plates (as called for) and 29 black and white illustrations. Printed card covers (faded, discoloured at edges, chipped and rubbed around spine). Internally neat, clean and bright. The binding is a little soft. The Britain in Pictures series provides an insight into British social history of the Second World War period. These attractive, slim volumes were produced to be affordable and readable, with the aim of boosting morale and national pride by highlighting elements of national identity which made Britain Great. "The purpose of this volume is not to discuss the merits of the finest examples of English Ceramics, or to compare them with the work of other countries; rather it is to bring to the fore all that is individual in the work of English potters, and all that is peculiar to, and typical of, this country'.
