More about the book

" This guide covers all aspects of social, cultural and political life in the capital from the first prehistoric settlements, right up to its present position as a financial and artistic world city. By selecting significant pieces of ceramics, jewellery, paintings, photographs, printed ephemera, sculpture and a range of commercial, industrial and domestic items from the entire collection, and not just from those on permanent display in the main museum building, this book, with specially commissioned colour photographs and monochrome archival prints, conveys dramatically the sheer size and variety of the Museum's holdings".
