Résumé:
In 1891, James Beale, a wealthy, middle-class Unitarian solicitor from Birmingham, commissioned architect Philip Webb to design a holiday home in the Sussex countryside. The Beale family remained sole owners of the property until Helen Beale, James and Margaret Beale’s last surviving child, bequeathed the estate to the National Trust in 1972. Although Standen is recognised by architectural historians as a fine and complete example of Philip Webb’s Arts and Crafts architecture of the period and is widely celebrated for its Morris & Co. wallpapers and furnishings, little has been written about how the family experienced the house, garden and estate, and the extent to which this shaped Standen’s later life under the National Trust. This book fills the void, focusing on the Beales’ lived experience and how they collaborated with Philip Webb in the creation of Standen.

Résumé:
The Russian Revolution has been examined countless times, but never from the perspective of postcards. This book is an extraordinary visual record of the tumultuous events of the 1905, the Menshevik, and Bolshevik Revolutions. The postcards capture the imperial splendour of the royal family in their final years, the mood of revolution as the crowds took to the streets, and the sens of optimism that greeted the new regime. They also reveal a very personal quality: in a cart sent by the Grand Duchess Olga from the house where the royal family was imprisoned shortly before their murder in Ekaterinburg, and a snapshot of Lenin chatting informally with the author H.G. Wells. This book is a unique contribution to the visual history of the Russian Revolution and brings to life one of the defining events of the twentieth century.
