#Photo gallery and blog post - 1937 Renault Celtaquatre, France

A striking Art Deco-style 1937 Renault Celtaquatre languishes inside a dusty garage, within the grounds of an abandoned chateau in France.

Pit firing connects us to over 30,000 years of shared human artistry. Once a year, I return to this ancient technique, shaping clay, and letting fire and smoke complete the story. Honoring the legacy of those before me, I’m reminded how art endures across time. #art #history #archeology #pottery

On 4 July 1964 the five members of the Rolling Stones formed the panel on Juke Box Jury. Surly to a man, they voted every record a miss - great for their image, not so good for their fellow professional musicians.

Can't help but celebrate great work. Riddiford's map for Britain that was prolifically published by National Geographic Society. It's still accessible and abundant and a prime example of 20th century decorative cartography. (And they are CHEAP on ebay!)

Geoffrey Davien, an artist and sculptor, created this ceramic of Christine Keeler in 1964, an example of how she made a huge and instant impact on British society.

I think there is more to Christine’s story than the glamour and the scandal. They are the obvious focal points, but in terms of the person, in some ways I think they are misleading.

Vauxhall Viva HA, 1963

Looking to share in the success of the Triumph Herald and the Ford Anglia, Vauxhall developed the Viva. They needed a new factory, and because government planning regulations decreed that large new factories could only be situated near unemployment black spots, they built new plants on Merseyside, a location suffering from dockyard decline.

Saturday 16 March 1963

Rejected lover John Edgecombe, who went after red-haired model Christine Keeler with a loaded gun, was jailed for seven years yesterday. And last night 21-year-old Miss Keeler, who should have been the prosecution’s main witness at the two-day Old Bailey trial, was still missing.

We are 138, We are 138, We are 138
We are 138, We are 138, We are 138
We are 138, We are 138
In the eyes of tiger

Do you think we're robot clean
Does this face look almost mean
Is it time to be an android not a man
