Portuguese Tiles

Monday, October 1st, 2007

I’ve just got back from working in Portugal. There wasn’t much time for sightseeing but, where I could, I photographed the tiles (Azulejo) that adorn the exteriors of many buildings. Azulejo was introduced to Portugal, via Spain, by the Moors in the 15th century. This tradition has continued and I was pleased to find modern tiles around the area of Tavira in the Algarve.

Abram Games - Roof Over Britain

War Booklet

Work by Abram Games fetches high prices these days, so it was nice surprise to find this affordable booklet in a second hand shop over the weekend. Roof Over Britain tells the official story of Britain’s Anti-Aircraft Defences 1939-1942. It was published in 1943 while Corporal Games worked for the Public Relations Department of the War Office. Games is perhaps know best for the Festival of Britain emblem in 1951.
