Architectural Review Special Number October 1949 - Inside the Pub : cover by Osbert Lancaster
A special number of the famous Architectural Review dedicated to the history and future design of the British Public House. Lavishly illustrated, the text was authored by Maurice Gorham and Harding McGregor Dunnett. Gorham had already written two books on the public house and, in 1950, this edition would provide the basis for a book, also entitled "Inside the Pub" that the Architectural Press issued.
The cover, described as the frontage of a pub "dismissed with a wave of the wand", is by noted cartoonist and writer Osbert Lancaster who was also one of the editors of the Review.
