From Bovril to boot laces, British manufacturers have traded on the patriotic spirit of their customers for over 100 years. The Opie collection of packaging and advertising ephemera provides a fascinating and unashamedly nostalgic visual history of an art which reflected Brirish society's every whim, prejudice ans aspiration. 160pp lavishly illustrated in colour and monochrome. Inscription to front end paper otherwise near fine.
