Series: The city through the eyes of its artists

A colourful tribute to one of the UK’s most iconic cities with a foreword by Sir Paul McCartney.

With its historic port and unique docks next to the mighty river Mersey, Liverpool enchants tourists and locals alike. Its bustling music scene, past and present, defines the city. Pictures of The Beatles and Cilla Black, stars of the 60’s, quickly turn a pub visit into a trip down memory lane.

The city’s vibrancy shines through every page of drawings, illustrations and paintings. They take us to Liverpool’s grand cathedral and characteristic waterfront, up St Johns Beacon, the city’s radio and observation tower, into quirky antique shops and busy pubs. Liverpool’s very own artists highlight the city’s personality so uniquely, that it will inspire visits to all its secret corners.
