Book
Glasgow 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. |
