Wales in 100 Objects
Description
Wales in 100 Objects is a beautiful volume to treasure, presenting what the author considers the 100 most important physical objects in Welsh history. Each spread contains an essay about the history and significance of the object and a striking full-page photograph. The objects, chosen by Green with the help of librarians, museum and gallery curators and other experts, are shown in chronological order and range from the ancient to the recent, including a hand axe from 32,000 BC; a sign for the Wales Coast Path, officially opened in 2012; a Roman sword; St Cystennin’s bell; the Nanteos Cup (reputed to be the Holy Grail); William Morgan’s Bible; the earliest known copy of the music and lyrics for ‘Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau’; a window from the Tredegar Medical Aid Society (forerunner of the NHS); badges supporting the 1984–85 Miners’ Strike and Catatonia’s first release. All of the items are in Wales and accessible to the public, and locations are noted in each case.
