ACKNOWLEDGMENT
HREE additions to Odham’s Britain Illustrated series are Pageant of London, Rural London and The English Lake District (all 13/3, through Whitcombe and Tombs). The London scenes suffer a little from familiarity; they have been photographed so often that the camera seems to have nothing new to say. But the illustrations are linked together in a satisfying panorama, and in The English Lake District the rural views-with special attention to the Wordsworth country-are full of historic and literary suggestion. Another Odhams book, 100 Years in Pictures (15/9), stands on its own. The photography is of a lower standard-inevitably, in the earlier scenes-and the treatment of history is sketchy. But there, is always a fascination in old pictures, and some of the photographs in this book are full of drama.
