ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The majority of research for this book was undertaken through Winchester School of Art (University of Southampton) and my grateful thanks go to the many members of staff for their kind assistance, particularly to Professor Ryan Bishop for his generous help and support throughout. Access to the relevant media would have been made far more difficult had it not been for the excellent library services at Winchester School of Art and the Hartley Library at the University of Southampton. I am very appreciative of everyone at Palgrave Macmillan who assisted in the process of guiding this project through to publication – including the reviewer whose initial suggestions shaped and enhanced the final manuscript. Thanks are also extended to the Imperial War Museum, Tate Images, Adbusters Media, the Louis Raemaekers Foundation, and for the early input of Julie Reeves. In addition I am, as always, indebted to the careful eye of Adrienne Bishop. Finally, my enduring love and gratitude goes to my wonderful family, Michael, Hannah, and Joseph.
