In 2023, The Modernist published Black Country Type, the first retrospective book by visual artist Tom Hicks. It sold out quickly and received international attention, including being listed in Dezeen magazine’s top ten architecture and design books of 2023.

Black Country Type II is the new instalment in Hicks’ ongoing exploration of the post-industrial landscape of the Black Country.

This volume features his most recent practice - new images that have never been seen before, capturing a changing landscape before it disappears.

Hicks typically takes photographs during freeform walks and cycle rides through the Black Country region, applying a fine art sensibility to his representation of the urban environment.

In this series of images he applies his unique aesthetic, focusing on words, typography, handmade lettering and signs. He also photographs ‘types’ of architectural features, objects and the post-industrial landscape of the area.

Known for his trademark compositional style, he relies on direct sunlight to illuminate his subject matter. His work also demonstrates a keen eye for the humour and the surreal in everyday life.

This new volume will appeal to designers, architects, artists, students, the quietly mischievous, and anyone with an interest in photography of the contemporary urban environment.

We started yard by yard. Then box to box. Shoulder pad by shin guard. Cleat to boot. Every element of the Chicago Bears was identified, broken down, tested and measured before being reimagined through the DNA of the other football. A tonal gradient inspired by the iconic Chicago "C" flows across the shirt, creating subtle depth throughout the body. Finished with a tonal woven crest, hometown back neck detail and classic football construction, every element celebrates Bears heritage. Football heritage never stands still. One Team. Two Sports. All Football. The experiment is now live.

This unique musical instrument is sure to provide endless ribbit-ting entertainment. Made in the north of Thailand using sustainable jackfruit wood, this large wooden frog simulates the real croaking sound of our aimable amphibian friends.

The classic ribbit sound is created by scratching the wooden baton along the ridges of the frog's back. Beating on the front of the frog also produces a warm woodblock sound. This frog can be used as a sound effect, or as a fun toy for children and adults alike.

Available in both a large or small size, the percussive design of these croakers creates a differently pitched sound depending on the size of the instrument. This larger size brings a deeper, more bassy tone due to its larger hollow space. Pair the large and small together for your own impromptu froggy symphony.

Just stroke the back of the frog with the thick end of the stick and enjoy!

Please note this item is an online exclusive offering and not available to purchase onsite at the Ashmolean museum.

Author: Dr Kathryn Ferry

A nostalgic exploration of Britain’s distinctive and architecturally significant seafront buildings from the 1920s to the new millennium.

British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Told chronologically, this book is the first look at how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the increasing competition of foreign destinations.

Using vintage postcard images, Kathryn Ferry showcases the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain-inspired mid-century style, then later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.

As climate change and the soaring cost of living provoke changing attitudes to travel, Britain’s seaside has witnessed renewed popularity, making now the perfect time to champion our architectural legacy of domestic tourism. Offering a compelling reassessment, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture will appeal to fans of architecture and design who love to be beside the sea.
