 UK Buyers | Purchase the BookGlasgow in 1901
by James Hamilton Muir (Author), Muirhead Bone (Illustrator) Celebrating Glasgow at its height, at the dawn of the 20th century, this idiosyncratic and entertaining book vividly evokes a smoke-hazed and somber city, ringing and thundering with shipbuilding and other industries. Not beautiful, but alive and splendid. The young authors write with humor and passion. From the colorful backdrops of the quays, to the exhausted workers, to the ever-active "city man," the pages are alive with Glasgow scenes and types. The book is liberally illustrated by the pen drawings of Muirhead Bone. An introduction by Perilla Kinchin presents new material on the authors and briefly traces the city's changes in the last century. |  US Buyers |
