Some fascinating images from the history of Leeds, in Schofields Golden Jubilee booklet.


The Original Clock Almanack – a Yorkshire dialect magazine.


An innocuous “1957” volume can often hide much more exciting stuff……in this case La Cucina (“The Kitchen”) magazine from Italy, bound with covers and wonderful colour advertisements.


A Guerlain perfume advertisement from the November 1974 issue of Harpers & Queen magazine. A classic example of 1970s advertising: a striking colour image and short, bold copy.
