They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.

New & updated edition featuring an exhaustive collection of London`s Art Deco style from factories & underground stations to theatres & private residences. Contains more than 200 stunning photographs offering a visual journey through London & beyond. The Art Deco style gained prominence at the 1925 Paris Exposition, after which each nation seemed to adapt its own distinct architectural style. Less florid than the French or that of the United States, Great Britain s buildings reflected the country s imperial status. From the imposing style of the Savoy Hotel, through the ornate detail of the West End theatres, to Art Deco factories like the Hoover Building, they also demonstrated Britain s love of detail. Remarkably, many of London s Art Deco buildings still survive their once grime-covered indigenous Portland stone now mostly scrubbed clean, beautifully displaying their many sculptural details. This richly illustrated book offers a fascinating & detailed look at the Art Deco style from building design to decorative detail. ...

London was a city on the front line in the Second World War. It suffered hits from nearly 12, 000 tons of bombs, with nearly 30, 000 civilians killed by enemy action. The Blitz changed the landscape of the city. Many famous landmarks were hit, including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London
- even the Imperial War Museum. Some areas, such as Stepney, were so badly damaged that they had to be almost entirely rebuilt after the war. But it wasn`t just the city`s physical landscape that was transformed. With the arrival of large numbers of Commonwealth & overseas service personnel, London became much more cosmopolitan. After 1942, vast numbers of American servicemen were deployed in the capital, & it was also a busy transport hub & a popular destination for troops on leave. This book tells the story of these momentous years in London`s history through IWM`s unique collections. Using personal accounts from letters & diaries, objects, photographs, maps & documents it gives an up-close & revealing insight into those turbulent years in the capital, experienced by those who lived there.
