Old photographs, especially when they show people as well as places, are intensely evocative. The pictures in this book, selected from many libraries and museums, have a human rather than merely a topographical interest. They cover the period from the use of outdoor photography in the 'forties to the years just before the First World War. Inland towns and cities such as Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Doncaster. Harrogate, Pontefract and York are fully covered, and so too are the ports and resorts in the shape, for example, of Hull, Middlesbrough, Redcar, Robin Hood's Bay, Scar borough, Whitby and Staithes. Industry appears along with the activities of the countryside, and there are sections on such diverse subjects as The Seaside, Shops and Markets, Vehicles, Public Occasions, Recreations and Causes, and Children. To older readers these photographs will be sharply nostalgic as to younger ones they may appear remote. A. B. Craven, City Librarian of Leeds, has made this picture collection with the help of his colleagues in Yorkshire. He has added an introduction and comments on the photographs reproduced.
