More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Brighton Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of one of England's finest cities. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Brighton, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people of Brighton throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the author's factual captions for every picture and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of the city's history. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of the city, as John Eddleston guides us through the city streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in Brighton all their lives, or whether they are just visiting this fabulous city. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever-changing society.

Format:Paperback
This is a slim volume [96 pages] without much text so there isn't a lot of reading to do. However, the excellent pictures are what you would buy this book for. For the most part, the editor pairs a photograph from the early part of the twentieth century with a modern photo taken from the same spot [most of these were taken in 2009]. Comparing the two pictures shows many differences but a surprising number of similarities, proving that although Brighton is a popular city with many modern attractions, its historical [and attractive] past is still visible and accessible. The paper is top quality glossy and the colour reproductions are very good. I'd have given it five stars if it had more photographs and information [and therefore more pages].
