"Picture Post" captured on camera the essence of the years from 1938 and 1957, and became the most popular and influential magazine of the era. Based on high-quality photographs from the magazine's archives, this is a celebration of the men and women who became the idols and image-makers of a reverent public. Combining the great names of the music, stage and screen worlds, the book offers a blend of classic glamour-shots and the sort of behind-the-scenes coverage for which "Picture Post" was renowned. Among those featured are Vera Lynn, James Dean, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Peggy Ashcroft, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Sabrina and Marilyn Monroe.
