PICTURETHIS
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG by The Anonymous Project and Lee Shulman (Hoxton Mini Press £18.95)
IN 2017, Lee Shulman bought a box of anonymous amateur photography slides online. He loved the insight they gave into normal British lives — red-brick houses, hydrangea bushes, cold beers on hot days (even, as pictured, for babies apparently!) — and his collection has since grown to nearly 800,000 slides. This heart-warming book brings together some of his favourites from the 1940s to the 1970s. Dripping with nostalgia, it will spark rose-tinted reminiscences in households across the country.
