Geoffrey Gorer & Ronald Searle – Modern Types (Cresset Press Ltd, 1955)
A witty and satirical portrait of postwar Britain, Modern Types brings together the sharp sociological insights of Geoffrey Gorer and the unforgettable illustrations of Ronald Searle. With tongue firmly in cheek, the book explores the quirks, foibles, and stereotypes of mid-20th century English society—from the earnest intellectual to the social climber—capturing a world in flux with both humour and a hint of bite. Searle’s illustrations, instantly recognizable from his St Trinian’s and Molesworth fame, bring Gorer’s text to vivid life, making this a delightful period piece that still sparkles with relevance and irony.
A very good copy, clean inside and out, with light shelfwear only. Pages crisp, binding tight. Owner’s signature present. Dustjacket in good condition.
