Guardian Bookshop Notes:
Subtitled, "O.G.S. Crawford & The Archaeology Of Modern Life". A fascinating portrait of one of Britain's most eccentric early 20th century characters, a pioneering archaeologist and aerial photographer who was a hidden figure in the history of British socialism.
Publisher's description:
O G S Crawford (1886-1957) was a man who thought history. He became a photographer flying over the Western Front during the First World War. He then fell in love with Marxism, was befriended by H G Wells, and travelled to the Soviet Union as one of its disciples. This work uses many of his photographs to show various aspects of British life.
